Waste is an issue that affects everybody every day – from the simple choices made when shopping, the way things are used, to the way they are thrown away. Waste has major environmental and economic impacts.

Moree Plains Shire Council is committed to reducing those impacts by providing residents with recycling and waste minimisation services

Reducing your waste is easy; it just takes a little thought:

•    Compost your food and garden waste •    Take a re-usable bag when you go shopping •    Avoid impulse purchases •    Buy in bulk whenever possible •    Put a ‘No Junk Mail’ sticker on your letter box •    Have a garage sale •    Buy for durability not disposability •    Swap magazines and books with friends •    Give clothes and toys to charity •    Don’t buy items with excessive packaging •    Buy products in recycled packaging •    Think before you print •    Use both sides when photocopying
