Consultation has concluded.
The management and disposal of waste affects
every member of the community and it continues to rapidly increase in cost. Council
is responsible for waste removal, treatment and disposal services, and
currently manages in excess of 150,000 tonnes of waste per year, costing over
$40 million dollars annually.
The Wollongong Waste and Resource
Recovery Strategy represents a pathway for Council and the community to work
towards sustainable waste management.
The draft Strategy is being
developed through engagement with community and key stakeholders. It is vital
that the community understands and accepts the need to avoid the creation of
unnecessary waste. The draft Strategy also highlights how to reuse and recycle
waste.
