Noosa urged to keep up recycling efforts
|
There has been a lot of media attention on recycling since China decided to impose restrictions on importing recyclable material. However, Noosa Council is encouraging residents to keep up their excellent recycling efforts.
Mayor Tony Wellington said Council's contractor for processing recyclables, Visy, had confirmed that it will continue to accept all of Noosa’s recyclables for processing at the Bli Bli Materials Recovery Facility. Visy segregates the contents of our recycling bins into plastics, glass, aluminium, steel, paper and cardboard.
"Noosa Shire residents are well-versed in sorting recyclables from general waste. Our local contamination rates are less than 5%. This is far lower than most other local government areas." Read more.
