The South West are community leaders in recycling and waste recovery. Many of our Councils, such as Bunbury and Capel have already exceeded the Waste Authority’s 2020 targets for waste diversion from landfill. Well done! It is our community residents that make this possible. We want to keep improving our recycling rates and you can tell us how! Our 2017 WastED Survey is now online: HERE

Have your say and help create a sustainable future for the South West.

Survey closes 17th Feb 2017
