Just ahead of the month ticking over to July, waste and recycling has been top of mind.

Shoalhaven City Council is also looking how it can better process the waste it receives. It’s sending two councillors and a number of staff to check out a state-of-art waste recycling plant in Poland. To help you keep as much waste out of landfill, we explain what can be recycled for free at council tips.
From waste to makeover: we had a look at plans for the upgrade of the Warden Head precinct to make it safer and more user-friendly. They will certainly transform the area.
Thanks to the efforts of Shoalhaven Mayor Amanda Findley the FIX IT NOW campaign got a significant boost at the national general assembly of Australian local governments, held recently in Canberra. The congress passed a motion calling for the highway to be recognised as a road of national importance.
Finally, a big shout out to former Ulladulla High School captain Jason Ardler, who was awarded a Public Service Medal for outstanding service to Indigenous people in NSW. Well done, Jason.
Catch you next week.
