Have your say on Council’s Waste Services and the future of the Circular Economy in Ryde!

City of Ryde is currently reviewing its Waste Management Strategy to move towards a circular economy approach. To help our community achieve this vision, Council is developing a ‘Circular Economy Strategy’.

A circular economy involves reusing, repairing, sharing and recycling materials and products; keeping them in use as long as possible. It also means moving away from single use materials and products which are not sustainable. This approach supports Council’s broader vision of creating a smarter, cleaner and greener City of Ryde. We want to hear from you! 

By providing your feedback, you can help shape our Circular Economy Strategy and ensure it meets the needs and aspirations of our community. Your feedback will guide us in making informed decisions on future waste management and resource recovery initiatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Circular Economy?

A Circular Economy is focused on reducing waste and making the best possible use of resources. Unlike the traditional “take, make, and dispose” model, a Circular Economy emphasises reusing, repairing, and recycling materials to extend the lifespan of resources and minimise waste. City of Ryde is working towards achieving a Circular Economy and exploring effective ways to manage resources, reduce waste, and advocate for our local community. Working towards a Circular Economy will help to minimise waste, lower environmental impacts, and keep resources in use, promoting sustainability and reducing the need for raw materials.
