Find out about the City of Stirling’s commitment to zero waste
by 2020. As part of its environmental charter, the City of
Stirling is working towards the State Government’s vision of
Zero Waste by 2020. That means that the primary focus of all of
the City’s 'waste' initiatives is to reduce the amount of waste,
that is collected by or delivered to the City, sent to landfill
through re use and recycling. The City’s program also has a
strong focus on recovering and safely disposing of hazardous
household waste. The type of services the City utilises to meet
these goals are designed to also be simple and convenient to use
for all the City’s residents, regardless of their circumstances.
To improve the quality of our environment, responsibility has to
be shared between the City (and its contractors) and our
residents. Whereas the City commits itself to provide all the
necessary service outlets in order to re use, recycle or safely
dispose of waste, it is each resident’s responsibility to reduce
the amount of waste
