Trade your waste

Council is providing Noosa businesses with access to ASPIRE – an online market place where you can trade, exchange or sell unwanted waste items, such as paper and cardboard, construction and demolition waste, electronic waste and many other waste items.
CSIRO and Data61 developed ASPIRE for businesses and their councils who were seeking a solution to ever-growing waste disposal costs.
With Council now part of the program, Noosa businesses with less than 100 staff can register for free. Read more.
