Composting is the way to go

 By combining our high nitrogenous rich wastes with cellulose ( and other carbon chains) in particular ,we can greatly reduce the amount of liquid waste we generate. Lots of paper wood pulp and a little food and other waste . 
Generally
We have bins for recycling, but we need better practical ways of separating and mixing (especially when we can do it on site) wastes on site.
Transport of wastes is very costly and yet little has been done to adopt sound onsite recycling in tourist areas, where the risk of pollution is high. 

Specifically 
The most powerful examples are in the wettest part of Victoria where avoidance of waste water pollution is very difficult, but where dry composting can work. two birds can be dealt with by one change ; reduced water volume and reduced risk. 


Dry composing using the old sawdust heaps in the Wettest place in Victoria ( Beech Forest) was proposed for the tourist precinct once proposed (and expected for the Otway's Fly and Triplet falls area. If you want to know why this never happened you best contact this author as it's a complex matter. I remain silent because of of over 4 decades work in Eco sensitive development I have noticed there is nothing more disruptive of sound outcomes than interference by high office or media interference.  
From my own experience, It would astound you how much money is wasted by public authorities in the once good name of environment, because the new "authorities" know nothing about the complexities of managing it. 

It would astound you how much money is wasted by public authorities' when the appropriate technology can be adopted at low cost of installation and maintenance provided all the local ecological issues on any site are addressed. 

Composting facilities and bins would reduce the need for paper and food waste to be carted off, just as glass and cans only bins would help make recycling become more than talk, 
While there will always be exceptions i am sure the public in tourist areas would accept better bin choice than occurs at the moment ( in say Colac Otway Shire )
