Ways to reduce your waste
There are things you can do to lower your environmental footprint. Here are some ideas.
Composting
One way to reduce your waste is to compost. Composting is not only good for the garden but good for the planet. Composting also helps reduce the amount of rubbish you throw away, which saves you money on those yellow bags and can cut the amount of waste going into our landfills by about 35 per cent.
Recycle old water tanks
With so many rural properties across our district, old or damaged water tanks are a common challenge. The good news is there is a way to keep them out of landfill. If you have a water tank that needs to be disposed of, you can recycle it with Vision Plastics. They specialise in recycling large rotomoulded items, including:
- Water tanks
- Kayaks
- Traffic barriers
- Heavy-duty coolers
- Mussel floats
If you’ve got one or a few lying around, team up with your neighbours and organise a collection. While costs may apply, it’s a simple way to reduce waste, support recycling initiatives, and protect our environment.
