Our Waste Strategy
We're listening - our community wants us to take leadership in waste and recycling . That means:
- protecting our natural environment
- reducing waste going to landfill
- finding better ways to manage waste for the future.
We are ready and willing to take on the challenge. We’ve written our Waste Strategy and are now asking – How low can we go?
Currently, 50% of our household waste ends up in landfill!
Our target is to reduce waste going to landfill by a further 30% to achieve targets set by the NSW Government.
This is where you come in, we need your help to reduce the amount of household waste that ends up in landfill. We’re challenging our community to make lasting change - small changes to your waste habits at home can make a big impact. Take charge and join us - reduce your waste with our 6-week Waste-Busting Challenge.
Reducing waste and creating a clean and green Sutherland Shire starts at home.
By making a few small changes at home, you can help reduce your waste and play a part in creating a more sustainable Sutherland Shire.
Our Waste Strategy outlines what we're already doing in the waste space and how we're planning to reach our targets.
