About the Program

Did you know that the landfills of the Sunshine Coast will be full by 2014?  That is, if we do nothing about it!

The Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) has thus adopted the Regional Waste Minimisation Strategy in December 2009, to divert 70% of waste by 2014, extending the life span of our landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Read more...

No strategy would be effective without the support and participation of the community. The Council has thus continued to support  Noosa Integrated Catchment Association's (NICA) Waste Wise Schools Initiative (WWSI), with an increased focus on community involvement and  "Keeping Our Biosphere Beautiful" (KOBB).Read more...

WWSI and KOBB will continue to help local schools and communities minimize waste and become more sustainable.
