Proposed Waste Reduction and Recycling Strategy

Logan City Council provides essential waste and recycling services to its local community. We collect, transfer, recycle, re-use and dispose of the city’s waste, always striving to achieve positive environmental, social, and economic outcomes.

Our residents have embraced kerbside recycling and green waste services. We know there are many more opportunities to reduce waste and divert more material from landfill and into a sustainable circular economy. In fact, the way in which we refer to ‘waste’ is starting to change. The term ‘resources’ is now being used instead of ‘waste’ because so much of what we throw away could be recycled and reused.

Council is committed to ensuring its waste facilities and services meet the needs of our growing population, while minimising waste going to landfill and maximising the use of resources.

This strategy outlines a path for how the City of Logan community can collectively:

· achieve waste reduction and recycling targets set by the Queensland Government.

· save valuable resources.

· contribute to building a circular economy.

In line with the Queensland Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy, this strategy seeks to:

· reduce the impact of waste on the environment and communities.

· transition to a circular economy for waste.

· build economic opportunity.
