Did you know that 67% of newspapers sold in Queensland are NOW being recycled?
Last year Queenslanders recycled 133 000 tonnes of newspapers, cardboard, magazines, paper, steel and aluminium cans and glass and plastic containers. That is a huge saving for our environment and our economy!
To check what you can recycle in your local area, contact your local council or the Environmental Protection Agency at wastewise@epa.qld.gov.au
It is inevitable that when people are around, rubbish is produced.
Here at Tinaroo EEC we are no different. When your class comes here for your camp, you will create a lot of rubbish.
Disposing of this waste in a way that doesn't hurt the environment is nearly impossible. What we try to do is to minimise the amount of rubbish that we send to our local dump.
Here's how we do it!! Click on the links below to see what we do with our rubbish.
