Waste

Rocky Cartoon

Throughout Australia, there is increasing public concern about the environmental impacts of waste and pollution. There is growing awareness that society must change its existing patterns of consumption and disposal if it is to progress to a sustainable system of resource use and minimise the impact on the environment.

A critical aspect of any waste minimisation strategy is to inform and educate the community about the issues. There is an obvious link between an informed and motivated community and the success of waste management initiatives at any level.

NOTE: Council's What a Waste program is currently unavailable.
