• Recycle Organic Waste

  Nutrient recycling is the foundation of life. Today's organic waste is tomorrow's lunch, so look after those worms and compost piles.
  
  Much of the journey toward sustainability involves us learning how to replenish nature as effectively as we have plundered her. Hence, establishing and maintaining the "food waste to compost to soil to food to food waste" cycle is both an efficient practice and a glimpse of the cycles we must learn to respect all around us.
  
  How to do it now!…

• Stormwater Pollution Control at Home

  Gutters and drains take rainwater from our streets straight into creeks and rivers. So when it rains, stormwater runoff can carry with it pollution from around our homes and streets into the waterways we swim in and where animals and plants live.
  
   
  
  What You Can Do
  Put your cigarette butts and other litter in the bin.
  Pitch in and help clean up littered areas.
  If there is no bin handy, hold onto your litter until you find one.
  Try to wash your vehicle on a grassy area or over gravel.
  Sweep your…

• Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) Waste Service

  Food Organics and Garden Organics (commonly referred to as FOGO) is a kerb side waste collection service where residents place food waste in the green-lid garden organics bin instead of the red-lid garbage bin. The food and organics waste is then processed and recycled into nutrient rich compost, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill.
  
  Wollondilly does not currently offer the FOGO service however, the NSW Government’s Waste and Sustainable Material Strategy 2041, which was adopted in 202…

• Battery and Chemical Disposal

  Did you know? Australians buy 350 million household batteries each year, but only 4% of these are returned to a collection centre for recycling.
  
  It is important to recycle batteries so that toxic chemicals don't end up damaging our environment and raw materials can be used again. Recycling batteries also helps prevent fires and explosions in our waste collection vehicles.

• Stormwater Pollution Control at Work

  All the stormwater running off your site runs into the river. It is against the law to allow any material to run from your site and into the river. Here are some ways to help stop stormwater pollution at your workplace.
  
  Ensure all vehicles are washed in an area where soapy water cannot get into the stormwater drain. This could be a grassed area or a wash bay. If you have a licence for your wash bay from Sydney Water, make sure you know what it allows you to do.
  Never put oil, chemicals or dirty…

• Reduce your stormwater pollution

  By managing your domestic stormwater, you can reduce polluting the waterways we love to swim in, fish and simply enjoy.
  
  The catchment area of our local rivers and waterways includes our houses, gardens, driveways and lawns. The stormwater system uses the gutters, drains, pipes and rivers to quickly remove water from residential and business areas so as to avoid flooding and the resultant damage this incurs.
  
  When the stormwater system is in use (i.e. during a storm), any litter, debris and othe…
