Kiama's waste trucks have had a facelift. In fact, you may have already spotted some of them rolling out across the LGA.
The new-look waste trucks were officially launched this week to coincide with National Recycling Week (8-14 November 2021).
It's been a few years since we updated the signage on our trucks and now, with assistance from NSW Environment Protection Agency's (EPA) Better Waste Recycling Fund, our 7 waste vehicles have all been updated.
The new designs promote responsible waste management and feature iconic imagery of recognisable locations within our municipality. The images were taken by local photographers Peter Izzard and Phil Winterton.
With the trucks out and about every day, once the new decals were applied, the trucks were sent straight back into service.
Council's Waste Management Officer Josephine St John said: "As our waste service trucks are clearly visible, they act as a 'moving billboard' throughout our municipality, to help promote and and recognise the good behaviour of our residents for managing their waste well."
NSW EPA's Better Waste Recycling Fund provides funding to local councils and regional groups of councils to make it easier for their communities to recycle more and decrease the amount of waste sent to landfill.
The fund supports a broad range of projects to improve recycling, engage communities, reduce waste generation, tackle littering and illegal dumping and contribute to achieving the NSW recycling targets.
