| Getting the most out of your Resource Recovery Centre | | Get it Sorted is a state wide campaign that aims to help communities use their local resource recovery centre ro its full capacity.
Resource recovery centres are often referred as transfer stations or in many cases 'tips'. These facilities provided in over 270 communities across Victoria and have been designed to help reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill and recycle as much as we possibly can.
Unlike landfills, resource recovery centres can accept a wide variety of recyclable materials and you are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the drop off services that are available for recyclable material.
In the Central Murray Region there are 26 resource centres. These centres were established after the Council decided to close the existing landfill and to ensure that the community still had access to a waste and recycling disposal facility.
You can recycle a wide range of materials at the resource recovery centres in the Region and in many cases you can drop some of these items off for free!
So now you know all you need to know about your local resource recovery centre. Remember, unsorted loads cop the maximum fee, so GET IT SORTED!
The Get It Sorted campaign is an initiative of the Association of Victorian Regional Waste Management Groups, supported by the Victorian Government Sustainability Fund.
