In Cairns, businesses are experiencing an increase in waste removal prices due to recent changes at the Cairns tip. The tip, where a substantial amount of the region's waste is managed, has recently undergone price adjustments that are expected to have a cascading effect on waste removal services. This is aligned towards the new Cairns Waste Transfer changes that have come into effect as of 1 October 2023. As the tip's operational costs rise, waste management companies and local waste removal services will unfortunately be compelled to pass on some of these additional expenses to their customers. We here at FNQ Easy Fix, unfortunately, fall under this umbrella due to our increase in operational costs.
Therefore this development emphasizes the importance of efficient and sustainable waste management practices within Cairns. We will be working with our customers to showcase several alternative cost-saving methods in order for Cairns residents and businesses to reduce their waste output, such as recycling and composting, in order to mitigate the impact of rising disposal costs.
This price rise is a reminder that waste management is a shared responsibility and that even small efforts on an individual level can contribute to more cost-effective and environmentally friendly waste solutions for the entire Cairns region. Adapting to these changes and embracing eco-conscious practices can help both consumers, businesses and the environment in the face of this impending adjustment in waste removal prices.
