Because of our unique location in the middle of World Heritage listed rainforest and the reef, Wujal Wujal faces special challenges in our waste management policies. As a remote town in Far North Queensland, we also face issues with efficient transport services connected to waste collection and disposal.
To serve the community and help protect our environment, your Council administers:
waste collection services
law on illegal dumping
services for recycling and minimising waste.
The Council Works Department works with the Regional Waste Management Group to meet the aims of the Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 for waste management.
