Eco-curious? Looking for a fun way to teach your household better waste habits?
We’re on a mission to help our community create better waste habits at home - and we want you to join us!
We’re looking for eco-curious trailblazers to take on our 6-Week Waste-Busting Challenge.
It’s easy, it’s fun and everyone in your household can get involved.
What’s the challenge?
This isn’t just for the Eco Warriors among us – this challenge has been designed for busy, everyday families and households to learn how simple changes to your day-to-day waste habits can make a huge impact.
If you sign up to take on the challenge you'll receive a FREE* tote bag filled with information, tips and tricks for reducing your household waste. It's one challenge per week. Over 6 weeks you will log your results so you can see how low you can go when it comes to reducing waste.
* Limited to 200 residents of Sutherland Shire.
How it works
Each week, you’ll tackle a new waste-busting mission, from ditching single-use plastics to overhauling your shopping and storing habits. After each week, you’ll fill out a quick survey to track your progress and share your feedback with us.
When does the challenge start?
The challenge will begin early February 2025 and we'll be in contact shortly before the challenge begins to ensure you've got your toolkit and are ready to get started.
Are you ready to take action?
This is your chance to learn what you can do in your own home to make real changes to your waste habits. Join our 6-week Waste-Busting challenge, and make lasting change in our community.

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.
