Ballina Shire Council is asking the community to share their waste habits and barriers to help inform Council’s waste education programs and materials.
“We understand people are busy and it’s sometimes hard to know what goes in which bin, but we also know Ballina Shire is home to a lot of residents who try to dispose of their waste correctly and responsibly,” said Justine Rowe, Ballina Shire Council’s Resource Recovery Education Officer.
Council is asking residents to complete a short online survey to give their Resource Recovery Section an insight into residents’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours towards waste and recycling.
The results from the community survey will help guide the direction of Council’s resource recovery educational materials and programs over the next 12 months.
“We are asking residents to take five minutes to tell us a bit about their current waste practices and how we could support them to make waste management and waste minimisation simpler.
Whether you prefer information in print or on social media, or perhaps you would like to see more local community clothes swaps or repair cafes ─ we want to hear from you!”
The survey closes at 5pm on Friday 9 May 2025. The survey can be completed online, or over the phone by calling our Resource Recovery Section on 02 6686 1287.
