“Getting our recycling system back on track requires teamwork,” said Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor Cr Ross Ebbels. “That’s why our five councils are working together on a regional recycling approach, and why we’re asking residents to take extra care with sorting their recycling.”
Cleanaway agreed to work with the councils to identify local secondary markets to maximise the sustainable reuse of recyclables, with an initial focus on the reuse of glass.
