Have your say!

The Gunnedah Shire Council invites you to participate in the Gunnedah Rural Waste Services Survey.
Your feedback will help improve our waste and recycling services, guiding the development of our long-term Waste Strategy and a Rural Waste Facilities and Services Review. The strategy aims to enhance recycling, reduce landfill waste, and improve our waste management practices.
The survey includes questions on waste management priorities, service use, satisfaction, and future needs. Your input is crucial for a sustainable Gunnedah.
