The Shire of Broome invites you to share your views in our Community Waste Survey.
Your feedback will help shape the future of waste and recycling services across our Shire, ensuring they meet the needs and expectations of residents, businesses, and visitors.
By participating, you’ll help guide the development of our Strategic Waste Management Plan, which aims to improve resource recovery, reduce landfill, and create a cleaner, more sustainable community for everyone.
The survey takes about 5-10 minutes, and any answers you provide are confidential.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this important project.
