Reduce the amount of waste you produce by making a shopping list, planning your meals, using leftovers and composting.

Council has incentives and services to help you reduce your waste:

Reuse items such as fabric shopping bags, water bottles, coffee cups or mugs, lunchboxes, metal cutlery and cloth napkins rather than using single-use items.
