Waste: The Big Picture
Climate change, landfill levies and challenging State waste reduction targets - the environmental costs of waste are never far from the headlines. As your council, the City of Sydney is in the front line when it comes to managing the impact that waste will have on the future of Sydney.
Today, we do much more than manage domestic waste collection and disposal. To increase the City’s recycling and resource recovery rates, we are taking an integrated approach to waste management. Together with residents and businesses, the City is committed to reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill and leading Sydney towards becoming sustainable.
Sustainable Sydney 2030 is the City’s long-term vision for City’s future. Developed together with the community, the focus is on creating a green, global and connected city.
