Australia generates more than 67 million tonnes of waste per year.
That's roughly 2.7 tonnes per person. Around 60% is currently diverted from landfill through recycling and recovery programs.
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Byron Shire supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in NSW.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Byron Shire runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
The surrounding suburbs each have their own collection days. Here are the closest ones.
