It’s good to see a positive step from a local government.
It makes one wonder.
Should our councils step up to the plate and accept more direct responsibility for how our waste is managed?
Should the list of what they will accept in general waste bins be restricted to only what is environmentally acceptable, and all else banned from landfill, EG zero plastics/polymers, no polystyrene or foams etc.
There is also a state government responsibility through their respective environmental legislation. You can only bury what the state allows.
Unfortunately the problem remains that our local government waste services bury plastics etc. Further they do not have facilities to accept for recycling all household wastes.
