Recycling has become a routine and essential part of life in Australia since it was introduced over 20 years ago. Because of the limits of the council materials facilities, however, there’s always been a limit to what type of product materials could be recycled. For the most part, we sort our trash into paper, glass, metal and plastic, and the efforts on the part of our communities have paid off tremendously, reducing landfill and protecting precious resources.
There is no single or simple solution to Australia’s rubbish woes. Recycling is a nationwide effort, requiring co-operation between councils, waste management experts and individual residents. In Victoria, local councils co-operate with waste management experts like WM Waste, who in turn work with individual residents to maximise recycling efforts and reduce environmental impact.
WM Waste Management Services will launch its new fully electric collection truck at Waste Expo in Melbourne on the 3rd & 4th of October 2018. WM Waste Management Services will be at stand Q43. Michael Strickland will be speaking at 1:35pm on Thursday 4th October on Maximising the recycling and recovery of kerbside collected hard waste and dry commercial waste.
Melbourne is abundant with home improvement activity. Waste generated from construction and demolition projects across Australia accounts for almost one-third of the country’s annual waste. We’re talking figures in the mega-tonnes. Around 35% of this, or 7 million tonnes, ends up in landfills, creating space issues and polluting the environment.
