4. Waste Services
The top three suggestions on one thing Noosa Council could do to improve waste services included:

    •  Bin services (landfill, recycling & green waste) capacity & frequency.
    •  Organic waste collection.
    •  Effective recycling solutions e.g. recycling all types of materials and making recycling
       convenient, accessible and transparent.
The actions proposed in the Draft Waste Plan to support waste services include, but are not limited
to the following, as outlined in Table 4:
