Let's talk waste education

Monday, 11 February, 2019

Strathbogie Shire Council, in partnership with Mitchell and Murrindindi Councils, will be developing a Waste Education Strategy for the Southern Goulburn Region.

In order to assist our communities, we want to know what you would like to learn about, and how we can better support your household to become more waste wise and produce less waste. 

A survey has been made available on the Strathbogie Shire website www.strathbogie.vic.gov.au for residents to complete until Friday 19th March.

Additionally our Regional Waste and Resource Recovery Education Officer, Grace Davis-Williams, will be hosting a number of pop-up events in the area for community feedback.

At these events you can find out more about using the kerbside bins, access paper versions of the survey and discuss what types of educational programs you would like to see in relation to waste and resource recovery.

Ms Davis- Williams encourages the community to fill in the quick survey or pop in and chat with her at one of the pop-up events.

“We want to get a better understanding of community needs regarding waste and resource recovery education so that we can deliver an education program that is relevant and useful for local residents,” Ms Davis-Williams explained.

The following pop-up events are happening in the Strathbogie Shire:

Friday 15th February, Violet Town 

8am – 11am, Violet Town Café (37-39 Cowslip Street, Violet Town)
