We encourage customers to lodge applications via the Planning Portal from 1 December to benefit from the new system. | |

It's National Recycling Week!
Did you know our kerbside trucks collect approximately 12000 tonnes of recyclable material every year from Shoalhaven households?
That's a lot of resources such as paper, glass, plastic and metals being diverted from landfill and recycled. Keep up the good work Shoalhaven!
Find out more about reducing waste in the Shoalhaven and see what goes in the Yellow Bin on our Reducing Waste page, or download below.
