Council operates many waste management facilities across the Sunshine Coast that includes resource recovery centres and recycling markets. Council's aim is to:

  • provide convenient, customer-focused waste disposal for residents
  • help residents to participate in resource recovery for re-use and recycling
  • provide not-for-profit sales outlets for re-distributing recovered items.

Council recovers goods and resources from the waste materials that are delivered to these centres. This includes goods that can be sold for re-use, and construction materials such as steel and concrete that can be re-processed and recycled. It also includes all other common recyclables that are collected in the yellow top bins (such as cardboard, paper, cans, etc.).

Sandie Johnson is the key spokesperson for the Sunshine Coast Council's recycling & waste management program.
