Draft Waste Strategy 2025-2035

Have your say on the Draft Waste Strategy 2025-2035: Resources Not Waste, which sets out Council's commitment to deliver and improve waste services to the community.

Background

Council is responsible for providing waste collection and waste management services to its community. These services are highly technical, both scientific and engineered, requiring a carefully considered balance of operational activity, asset management and business administration to achieve strategic outcomes.

Council’s adopted Recycling the Future Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy 2018-2028 was due for review and update. A new fit-for-purpose service area strategy was required to guide the provision of ongoing services that meet legislative requirements and community expectations while being sustainable and aligning with adopted and emerging best practice.

The draft Strategy outlines how Council will meet our legislative requirements, applicable Federal and State Government waste targets, the community’s desires of the service, and how Council will deliver the service in a safe, sustainable and prioritised way. It establishes a program of actions to deliver any changes required of the service and its assets.

A project was established in 2023 to redevelop the strategy in-house. More information on the project can be found at begavalley.nsw.gov.au/community/waste-strategy-development
