Have your say! Resource Recovery (Waste Management) Strategy 2022-2032

29 Jun 2022

The DRAFT Resource Recovery Waste Management Strategy 2022-2032 aims to guide the way waste is managed and help council provide a cost-effective, fit-for-purpose waste management system, within a rapidly changing waste management industry. The fundamental goal of the strategy is to improve the efficiency of council’s resource recovery (waste management) operation while minimising waste disposal to landfill and maintaining or improving the current level of service.

Some key points of the strategy are:

  • the investigation of future expansion of council’s kerbside collection service.
  • a review of our existing resource recovery centres (inc landfills and bulk bin stations) to determine whether they are fit for purpose.
  • the establishment of a new regional resource recovery centre in Emerald.
