Single use materials survey

As part of our ongoing efforts to promote sustainability and reduce waste within our community, we want your feedback on the use of single-use materials and waste reduction practices among event organisers, community groups and users of Council venues in the Tweed. Your participation is crucial in helping us understand current practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement.

We appreciate your time and valuable input in completing this survey. Your responses will guide us in developing effective strategies and support systems to help transition to single-use free events in public places of the Tweed.

The survey will be open until Friday 30 May 2025.
