The Solid Waste team oversees the Council’s organics, recycling and rubbish kerbside collections, the operation of Council’s waste handling facilities and cleanfill disposal pit, and also the education programmes delivered into schools, to community and other groups, and to businesses. They manage the after-care of five closed landfills, and also ensure that the District has safe and effective access to landfill disposal. The aim of the Solid Waste team is to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill from our business and our District, and also to reduce harm to the environment and people from waste materials.
