Councils and community together play a role in reducing and managing waste responsibly. Reducing waste begins at home. The less we produce, the more we influence our family, friends and work colleagues by showing them ways to cut down, the more likely it is that our community as a whole begins to minimise waste.

For some simple tips for minimising waste please click here.

EMRC, in partnership with its member Councils, operate a range of waste education programs focused on practical ways to reduce waste and provide 'behind-the-scenes' tours and information for better community understanding of how our waste is managed.
