Waste and Resource Recovery - Fees and Exemptions Policy

We are committed to reducing our city’s waste, diverting waste from landfill and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The amount of waste being received from pensioners and local community service organisations has been increasing over the past few years. Unfortunately waste that is disposed of for free is usually not sorted resulting in larger amounts of waste to be disposed of to landfill.

The proposed changes to our Waste and Resource Recovery - Fees and Exemptions Policy will mean that we will encourage people and community service organisations to sort and recycle their waste and that less waste will end up in landfill.
