Wollondilly Council’s Waste Management Strategy & Action Plan reflects the community’s aspiration towards economically and environmentally sustainable waste management. The Strategy and Action Plan were adopted by Council in March 2021.

The Strategy outlines:

  • Key activities in the management of waste
  • Specific actions
  • Target completion dates
  • Expected outcomes.

It addresses important areas such as:

  • Landfill diversion
  • Domestic waste collection, processing and disposal
  • Contamination management in domestic waste bins
  • Domestic kerbside clean-up services
  • Litter management
  • Illegal dumping
  • Council leading by example in waste avoidance and reduction
  • Management of problem wastes such as medical sharps, chemicals, mattresses, gas cylinders and e-waste.

Proposed actions include

  • Constructing and operating a free community recycling centre for problem wastes
  • Helping residents reduce the amount of waste going into red-lid bins
  • Continuing the trial of public place recycling bins
  • Working with neighbouring councils towards joint waste contracts
  • Planning to ensure residents have access to bulky waste drop-off in the long term.
