Gunnedah Shire Council is now inviting the community to participate in the Gunnedah Rural Waste Services Survey.

The survey, produced by ASK Waste Management in collaboration with the Gunnedah Shire Council), will help guide consultation for the Waste Management Strategy and Rural Waste Facilities Study project.

Council has engaged ASK Waste Management to develop its Waste Management Strategy with the key aims of the project to develop a 10-year Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy, evaluate current facilities, and recommend future actions aligned with the NSW Waste and
Resource Recovery Strategy and Council’s Community Strategic Plan.

The project will be completed in four stages and a ‘Coffee Table’ summary will be created for public exhibition and feedback.

Council currently operates its main site, the Gunnedah Waste Management Facility, and several other smaller, rural waste facilities. It also provides a three-bin or two-bin kerbside service to most residents except for some rural properties that are required to self-haul their waste to Council facilities.

The survey will be live for the next 21 days and can be accessed via this web link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GunnedahRuralWasteSurvey OR printed copies can be obtained from Council’s Customer Service team at the Elgin St office.
