<strong>Council</strong>’s waste contract provides a significant opportunity for the community to recycle. This has<br />

resulted in an increase <strong>of</strong> 115% <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s recyclables per capita since 1998/1999.<br />

As a result <strong>of</strong> greater recycling efforts by the community, <strong>Council</strong>’s average domestic waste kilograms<br />

per capita for 2004/2005 has remained unchanged at 187 from 2003/2004 and has dramatically<br />

decreased since 1998/1999. This is a pleasing result for <strong>Council</strong> and the community. The lowest<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> 175 kilograms per capita was collected in 2001/2002 while the highest amount <strong>of</strong> 343<br />

kilograms was recorded in 1995/1996.<br />
