Waste and Recycling
We all generate waste, either directly via what we generate at home or in the workplace, or indirectly by purchasing goods and services where waste is also generated. On average, Tasmanians generate approximately one tonne of waste per person per annum. The disposal of wastes, including waste water, is a critical issue for our environment.
