The Sort
& Save Campaignwas initiated through
the Eaglehawk Recycle Shop and launched by the City of Greater
Bendigo.
This
campaign has aimed to promote the importance of sorting recyclable
or reusable waste on site and taking it to the Recycle Shop for no
cost rather than sending waste, contaminated to the landfill
and paying for it.
The
message is that waste is not only a problem of the Council but more
importantly of its citizens and businesses. We all create waste
therefore we all must take responsibility to dispose of it in a
responsible manner.
The waste
that is sorted can be recovered easily if set aside or on top
of waste that cannot be recycled. It is a time saving process for
both the recovery team and the public. The cost of sending the
remaining nonrecoverable waste to landfill is less with the sorting
procedure in place, besides a greater recovery rate away from
landfill.
