Waste Education

Waste

Wingecarribee Shire Council recognises the importance of working in partnership with the community to manage, reduce and avoid waste.

As such, Wingecarribee’s Waste Education Officer is available to provide education sessions and work with residents, community groups and schools. These sessions are engaging, informative and have the ability to motivate across a wide range of audiences.

A wide variety of presentations and workshops are available to promote recycling and ethical waste management practices and can be tailored to meet the needs of group.
