Snowy Valleys, NSW counters overused landfills with residential waste voucher pilot

Snowy Valleys, NSW Residential Waste Voucher Pilot

In Progress

Residents receive weekly electronic vouchers to drop off one cubic meter of waste per household. Workers at four council waste facilities use solar-powered management systems to accept vouchers before sorting waste. The six-month voucher pilot operates alongside free weekend waste drop-off events it is meant to replace. Snowy Valleys officials approved vouchers to increase household recycling, limit landfill use, and allow staff to educate the public on proper disposal.
