again exploring the idea of introducing kerbside recycling in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Kerbside recycling bins were considered at a workshop undertaken by councillors last Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop was in response to a Council resolution in January to investigate the introduction of a kerbside recycling service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCouncil will be engaging with the community to better understand residents\u2019 views on kerbside recycling to inform future decision-making,\u201d Mayor Brett Otto said.<\/p>\n<p>Discussions during the workshop explored the community\u2019s readiness for a recycling service, opportunities to divert FOGO (food organics and garden organics) from landfill, areas of service and frequency of collection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The South Burnett already has facilities for e-waste recycling; kerbside recycling would add the next step to improved environmental outcomes for the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was also a conversation regarding the desire to support local operations such as the Materials Recovery Facility managed by the Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council.<\/p>\n<p>Workshop participants agreed that the upcoming expiry of both the South Burnett Waste Management Strategy and the current waste collection contract presented the perfect opportunity to explore these themes with the community and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>The waste contract is very significant for Council in terms of its multi-million dollar cost and long-term duration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a
