74.7% Waste Diverted from landfill at A&P Show Warkwoth

21/3/2021

A huge shout out to our waste ambassadors at the Warkworth A&P Show on Saturday for supervising our waste stations, helping the public to get their refuse in the right bin.  And big thanks to the show patrons for all your positive comments about our work and for being so interested in what happens to the waste.  We are thrilled to have diverted 74.7% from landfill.  Of that, nearly 60% was food scraps and compostable coffee cups, cardboard plates and serveware, which will all go into our compost bins at our Lawrie Rd recycling centre tomorrow.  In about 3 months it will come out the other end as compost! 
Another 16% was recycling (cans, bottles, etc). 

And thanks to our local politicians Marja Lubeck (Labour) and Chris Penk (National) for taking the time to come and see what we were doing.   We appreciate you taking an interest.
