Background

Council’s WARR Strategy outlines our strategic direction for waste management.

The objectives of this strategy are to reduce waste generation, increase resource recovery, provide fair and efficient waste services, and reduce the environmental impacts of waste.

One action in the WARR Strategy is to investigate extending the kerbside service routes, as well as the feasibility of offering food organics and garden organics (FOGO) bins.

This project is of broad relevance to these objectives, with kerbside services providing the opportunity for a higher level of education and engagement on waste, as well as resulting in higher recycling rates and mitigating illegal dumping of rubbish in the environment or public bins.

Community feedback has also indicated that there is a high appetite for kerbside waste services as opposed to self-haul to one of Councils three waste transfer stations.

What's Next?

The project team is busy analysing all the feedback received and a summary of the engagement with be presented at the April Council Meeting
