Waste Management
Northern Sydney Regional Waste Strategy 2014-21
Effective municipal solid waste management is a crucial responsibility of councils in the NSROC region as a requirement of the Local Government Act 1993. Collectively the eight councils generate approximately 247,000 tonnes of domestic waste per year.
The Councils in the NSROC region have a history of cooperation in waste management. In 2014 the then seven member councils developed and subsequently adopted the Northern Sydney Regional Waste Strategy. In 2017 it was revised and then revised further in 2018 by adding Mosman as the eighth member.

VISION: A community actively engaged in waste reduction, recycling and resource recovery, to protect the environment and enhance community well-being.
