Noosa Council is set to revamp the way it deals with waste in response to major advancements in the industry and emerging new technology.
Residents’ input, says Mayor Clare Stewart, will be crucial to deciding what changes occur.
“Getting to know how much rubbish households generate, how often residents visit Council’s landfills, and how dedicated the community is to sorting rubbish will all help inform what we do,” Cr Stewart said.
“We’ll be asking locals to tell us if they feel confident knowing what to recycle or would like to know more, and whether they’re interested in new and more environmentally friendly ways of disposing organic waste and at what cost.”
Residents can share their thoughts online as well as at a series of community pop-ups.
“A lot has changed since 2015 when we adopted our current waste arrangements, including more ambitious recycling targets set by the state, and the availability of new technology to improve recycling and divert more waste from landfill.
