City congratulates residents on reduced waste

For the second year running, City of Gosnells residents have reduced the amount of waste they produce.

In 2020/21 the City collected almost 38,800 tonnes of household waste from City residents and this amount fell to 38,300 tonnes in 2022/23.

This reduction in tonnage is even more impressive when it is noted that the City’s population is estimated to have increased by 3,000 people between 2020/21 and 2022/23.

Mayor Terresa Lynes was quick to praise the City’s residents in reducing their waste.

“It is great to see that even though our population continues to increase, the waste that we generate is falling every year,” she said.

“We are pleased to see a downward trend in the waste generated per capita and I congratulate residents on their efforts to reduce waste.”

The City encourages residents to continue to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Tips for reducing waste and reusing and recycling where possible are available as part of the ‘Be a GREAT Sort’ campaign on the City’s website at gosnells.wa.gov.au.
