Green Waste

Our clean green waste with minimal contamination is being composted at Kimbriki’s Resource Recovery Centre's outdoor compost facility. This facility is not licenced to accept food waste which has to go to a highly specialised composting facility at much greater cost.

Our recyclables are going to the Visy Materials Recycling Facility at Smithfield where they are sorted and sent for various remanufacturing processes.
