It's always great to connect with the community and answer those tricky recycling questions. Pen had a fantastic time popping up in Federation Council to chat all things 3 bins, recycling and waste reduction.

Where should Pen pop up next?

♻️ A big thank you to everyone who dropped by the Corowa Civic Centre last week to see Penny for our Halve Waste drop-in session! Residents were engaged and welcomed the opportunity to tackle those tricky recycling questions and figure out how to safely dispose of those hard-to-recycle items sitting in the shed.

🌿 Our region is cleaner and greener because of proactive community members like you. Let’s keep working together to reduce waste and keep our environment beautiful! 🌟

Did you know?

If you live in AlburyCity, Alpine Shire, Wodonga, or Indigo Shire, you can recycle your soft plastics at home!

Just use the orange council-supplied bag, and when completely full pop it in your kerbside recycling bin.

If you missed the news, now’s the time to get involved!

Did you know that batteries are one of the leading causes of waste and recycling facility fires?

Please keep batteries out of all household bins.

Take used batteries to a dedicated recycling drop-off point instead. Many supermarkets, hardware stores and Community Recycling Centres accept household batteries.

Ever wondered what happens to your recycling after it leaves your yellow bin?

Take a behind-the-scenes look inside the Albury Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), where recyclables from across our region are sorted and prepared for a new life.

See how thousands of recyclable items are processed every day using conveyor belts, magnets, screens and the expertise of dedicated workers.

Getting recycling right at home helps recover more valuable resources and keeps contamination out of the recycling stream.
