Sorting your load saves you time and effort!

Most people have absolutely no idea and so when you

mention waste and recycling disposal, they say “Ahh,

you mean a tip!”

 

No, we don’t mean a tip! Resource Recovery Centres

are facilities provided in over 270 communities in

Victoria, designed to help reduce the amount of waste

we send to landfill.

 

As their name suggests, Resource Recovery Centres

are a place were materials can be collected and

transferred to other locations.

 

Resource Recovery Centres allow you to recycle a wide variety of items, often at a much reduced price than disposing of your waste directly to landfill.

 

Before your next trip to the Resource Recovery Centre,

think about how you can saver yourself some time and

effort by sorting your load at home.

How to Sort Your Load to take it to your local Resource Recovery Facility

 

To Get It Sorted

 

  • Stick your rubbish on the bottom
  • Then your green waste goes on next,
  • Place your bricks to the right
  • Your timber to the left.
  • Put your cardboard on the top of this,
  • Then pipes and metals too,
  • Covering your load is the final thing you do.
