Hilltops Council is seeking feedback from the community to assist decision making around waste services and the implementation of the long-term Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy, stating current services are 'not sustainable'.
"The waste services that council provide to the community are essential services and an important issue for our residents," council said in a statement.

"Council adopted a Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy last year, which detailed strategic priorities and guiding principles for waste management in Hilltops Council."
Council said the plan 'now needs to be developed with decisions to be made at a practical level on all aspects of the services', such as kerbside waste collection services, urban waste disposal services and rural waste disposal services.
"Council will be considering these services in 2022 and invite residents to have input into the process," council said.
"Council aims to provide waste services that meet the needs and expectations of the community, while ensuring these services are reliable, affordable and sustainable.
"Current services are not sustainable, and council is seeking feedback from the community regarding service levels, frequency of services, areas to be covered by kerbside collections, and associated fees and costs for the delivery of waste services."
