This is a great reminder that we can all help reduce illegal dumping by using www.ridonline.epa.nsw.gov.au
- just upload photos and add the GPS location and a few details from your phone.
Reports lodged via RIDonline are directed to the appropriate land manager such as Forestry Corporation of NSW, NSW National Parks, Council or other.

Nice work!

Boomerang Bags

A group of New World supermarkets in New Zealand have abandoned the use of plastic wrapping for virtually all of their fruit and vegetables, and its lead to a 300% increase in sales!

The owner also noted that in his 30 years in the supermarket industry, this simple change has resulted in the most positive feedback from customers ever received.

Let's hope all supermarkets follow the trend!

Reuse Reduce Recycle Midwaste Regional Waste Forum (Midwaste) comprises six Councils located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Bellingen Shire, Coffs Harbour City and Nambucca Shire form the northern sub-region, Kempsey Shire and Port Macquarie-Hastings form the mid sub-region and Mid Coast Council comprise the southern sub-region. Together, the 6 Midwaste Councils encompass approximately 21,000 square kilometres.

Major industries in the region are farming and logging and the coast is a popular destination for tourists, families and retirees. Seasonal variations in population, due to the influx of tourists during the peak holiday periods, add a level of complexity to the region’s waste management. Waste generated from the additional population influences both the composition and the quantity of waste generated during the holiday seasons.

MIDWASTE is Proudly supported by these regional councils

This program is supported by the NSW EPA Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy.
