Recycling’s as easy as RRRC…

Free tours of the RRRC are available, helping to educate people about the recycling process, while offering safe and clear views into the different facilities. Find out more by calling 9256 9555, or visit smrc.com.au or recycleright.wa.gov.au

The Regional Resource Recovery Centre, or RRRC, is a green initiative of the Southern Metropolitan Regional Council, or SMRC, established to represent five local councils south of Perth, including Cockburn, East Fremantle, Fremantle, Kwinana and Melville. Covering an area of 340km2 and a combined population of over 260,000 residents, it uses state of the art technology and infrastructure to process waste and recover recyclables for reuse.

The RRRC diverts more than 60,000 tonnes of waste per year from landfill and prevents about 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, which is equivalent to taking more than 7,000 cars off the road.

VERGE COLLECTION DATES

Using your Bins

BIN PLACEMENTTo assist waste and recycling operators in servicing your bin on collection day:

• Bins should be placed within 1.5 metres of the road kerb by 6.00am on collection day, with the handles facing towards the property, without the bin blocking footpaths or driveways.

• Place your yellow recycling bin about half a metre from the green bin to allow clear access for the side loading service vehicle’s grab arm.

• Please do not overfill your bin as the rubbish and recycling trucks’ hydraulics cannot lift bins weighing over 70kg, or those overfull with the lid open. Hot or burning ash, liquid wastes, oil, paint, solvents or heavy materials should not be placed in your bin as they may damage the bin, waste collection vehicle and the environment.

• Your bin lid must close so that the contents do not spill when it is lifted or the lid does not blow open causing street litter.

• Place your bin clear of parked cars, trees, poles, etc to allow clear access to the service vehicles.

• Only waste placed inside the bin will be collected.

HANDY HINTS• Return bins to your property as soon as possible.

• Store bins in a shaded area.

• Clean bins regularly.

• Wrap all moist and perishable foods in newspaper before placing in your green bin.

• Freeze all smelly food and place in your green bin the night before collection.

• Put lawn clippings and small prunings on top of the material in your green bin to prevent jamming.

• Which bin do I put it in? visit recycleright.wa.gov.au

½ m 1mkerb

DISPOSAL OTHER ITEMS

We all know recycling is a simple way that everyone can help the environment. Recycle Right is a campaign which encourages and assists residents and businesses in the South Metropolitan Region to recycle, reduce their rubbish and buy more recycled products. The 3 R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle – are a simple way to rethink the things that you no longer need and make a difference today!

EASY TIPS FOR BETTER RECYCLING:

In the yellow-topped bin you can place:All plastic

All metal

All glass, even broken glass

All paper

The green-topped bin is for household waste, such as kitchen scraps and garden clippings, which can be composted, just like a home compost bin

Place items loosely in the bin, this helps with the sorting process at the Regional Resource Recovery Centre (RRRC).

Before placing anything in either bin, ask yourself “can this be reused?”  Better to reuse before recycle.

Some things should not go in either bin, such as batteries, electronic devices or e-waste, or hazardous household waste.  Disposal options for these are given in this calendar, or consult your local council or the Southern Metropolitan Regional Council, or download the free Recycle Right app from the App store or Google play.

To find out what happens to your waste and recycling:• Ring 9256 9555 for a free tour of the RRRC• Consult the Recycle Right website – recycleright.wa.gov.au
