Win with WickED survey!

Published on 10 May 2023

Campaspe Shire Council has launched its annual WickED (Waste in Campaspe – Know Educate Do) survey, aimed at gathering community feedback on waste education practices and understanding current attitudes towards waste disposal.

CEO Pauline Gordon said the survey is an essential tool in driving Council's Waste Management Strategy forward and encouraged all community members to participate.

“We understand that waste management is an essential service, and it is essential to our environment's sustainability. By participating in the survey, we are better able to understand your views and needs, which will inform and improve our waste strategy and education programs.

“The survey will provide valuable information on residents’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviours in relation to the environment and waste management practices in our region.”

The survey seeks feedback on the use of Council’s eight resource recovery centres, kerbside collection, illegal dumping and what goes in what bins. It provides consistent baseline data to help with identifying waste education priorities as well as the planning, coordination, implementation and evaluation of the program year on year.

“The survey has been designed with insights from previous years and is aimed at understanding the current attitudes towards waste disposal, how households manage their waste, and what additional waste education programs the community would like to see implemented.”

“It is pleasing to see that previous years’ results from the WickED survey have shown a considerable shift in peoples’ attitudes and behaviour towards waste reduction and the health of the environment,” Ms. Gordon added.

By completing the survey, respondents will go in the draw to win one of five $100 Visa pre-paid cards and a reusable Keep Cup.

The WickED survey is open to all Campaspe Shire and Moama residents, groups, businesses and schools, and can be accessed here. The online survey closes 5pm on Friday, 16 June.
