Do you think our Waste Minimisation and Management Plan (WMMP) is on the right track?
Yes
Do you agree with our proposal to adopt a zero waste attitude across the district by 2038?
Yes
Do you have any further comments on the WMMP?
We need to start rethinking what waste is. Instead of it being considered as garbage we need to see it as a resource. The food waste is a classic example as landfill it is garbage full of toxic leachate and emits methane into the atmosphere. But when it is composted it becomes a resource. Now we have a fertiliser company or two in our district. Surely there must be some sort of arrangement to be made here where our garbage food waste can be processed and become a salable commodity.
