Region. Waste is on the agenda

Parramatta City Council and Auburn City Council are encouraging businesses in suburbs of Camellia, Rosehill, Clyde, Granville and Silverwater, in the Duck River catchment, to take part in a new waste exchange program designed to reduce landfill and enhance inter-business community relationships. Encompassing an area of about 39 square kilometres, the Duck River catchment is home to more than 600 businesses. The second business workshop will be held at Dooleys, Silverwater Road, Silverwater on Thursday, November 19, from 10am – 1pm. Elsewhere, Macquarie University has officially launched a new system for managing its waste in a bid to create a more sustainable campus.
