WASTE MANAGEMENT
Rubbish and Waste Services
We are fortunate to live in Cook Shire, with our World Heritage rainforests, culturally significant sights, pristine outback, and the Great Barrier Reef right in our backyard.
To preserve this natural beauty, it’s essential that we manage our waste sustainably. Everyone has a role to play in protecting our environment.
Cook Shire Council is dedicated to reducing landfill waste by enhancing recycling opportunities, promoting the reuse of organic waste, reducing illegal dumping, and supporting sustainable practices.
