Circular North - Hazardous Waste on Farms

RMCG has been engaged by Circular North to better understand agricultural waste and resource flows across northern Tasmania, including:
  • types and quantities of waste generated
  • current management and disposal pathways
  • material recovery opportunities
  • infrastructure gaps and potential regional processing solutions.
This survey helps to inform the project about hazardous waste on farms, including the types and volumes of hazardous waste, how it is managed, challenges and opportunities.

All responses will be kept confidential and only aggregated data will be used in the project report.
