Waste and Recycling

Healthy Home Environment

As a community, we each play a vital role in maintaining a harmonious and healthy living environment. By being mindful of our actions and their impact on others, we can collectively prevent environmental nuisances—such as excessive noise, smoke, pests, and rubbish—that may cause distress or disrupt the well-being of our neighbours.

Environment

Burnie has both natural and built environments that are respected and cared for. Find out more about our natural resources, water, waste, energy and air.

Emergency Management

What to do in the case of an emergency and where to find the most trusted source of information.

Our collective vision is for a clean, green, economically strong city, known for its natural beauty, industrial heritage and new forms of making.
