Waste strategy

Council's Waste Management Strategy was prepared ahead of the Council’s 2021 waste contract.

The waste strategy proposes a number of actions in key areas:

  • Maintain current domestic waste and recycling services.
  • Adjust clean-up service to 4 services per year.
  • A booked bulky green waste service to substitute green waste vouchers and mobile chipping service.
  • Investigate options for waste recovery at the kerbside for e-waste, mattresses and metals.
  • Investigate options for weekly green waste service as per Council`s previous resolution when considering additional bush fire protection for residents.
  • Continue research and development into further recovery opportunities for recycling including soft plastics.
  • Provide additional resources for community information, promotion and education.
  • Continue with development of engineering waste recovery including road re-surfacing and other opportunities with projects.
  • Continue with Council’s commercial waste and recycling services for business and schools in the local government area.
  • Continue to improve litter and dumped waste management.
