Waste Wise Ryde

The Waste team recruited 35 City of Ryde households to take part in a three-month trial encompassing waste reduction, reuse and recycling activities aimed at helping our residents on their journey towards a zero-waste life. Participants were provided with resources to help reduce their waste including an action toolkit with helpful information, composting equipment and reusable item packs. Participants were asked to audit their waste using the provided recording booklet to see the impact of these behaviour change activities.

All 35 households were able to reduce their waste by at least 50 percent and became community champions by encouraging their family and friends to reduce their waste too.
