SUMMARY:Tour of a Recycling Centre (WAITLIST)
DESCRIPTION:We have something different to offer members for the May monthly activity. \nIn 2016-2017 Australia generated an estimated 67 million tonnes (Mt) of waste including 14.2 Mt of organics and 5.6 Mt of paper and cardboard. This is the equivalent of 2.7 tonnes per capita per year. However\, we recycled 60 per cent of the total waste we produced. For most of us\, recycling means we put our waste in the yellow-top bin and it is taken to a recycling facility and turned back into its basic material — plastic\, glass\, aluminium\, or paper. \nBut it turns out recycling is not so simple\, and there are major problems in the Australian industry. A Four Corners investigation in 2017 found significant amounts of recyclable material is being dumped in landfill. Find out what happens to your recyclables after collection. This guided tour will answer your questions and show you what happens to your recycling once it has been picked up\, and what can be diverted from landfill. \nNOTE: Participants are to wear closed shoes\, long-sleeved shirts\, and PPE provided by Council (Hi-Vis Vests and Safety glasses). \nDATE: Thursday 23 May 2019 \nTIME: 11.30 am – 12.30 pm \nVENUE: Randwick Recycling Centre\, 72 Perry Street\, Matraville NSW 2036 \nCOST: Free \nRSVP TO: Kesty Pringgoharjono at activity.swicsydney@gmail.com \nRSVP BY: 15 May 2019 – First come-first served basis due to limited space \nTRANSPORT:  \n\nCar : limited street parking available\nBuses: No. 392\, 515\, 317\, 307\n\nReference only \nhttps://www.environment.gov.au/system/files/resources/7381c1de-31d0-429b-912c-91a6dbc83af7/files/national-waste-report-2018.pdf \nhttps://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/food-waste-averages-3800-per-household-yet-food-insecurity-at-crisis-point-20170602-gwj1eg.html \nhttps://www.smh.com.au/environment/sustainability/nsw-waste-crisis-landfill-levy-gains-20190104-p50pp3.html \nhttps://www.smh.com.au/environment/sustainability/nsw-waste-crisis-landfill-levy-gains-20190104-p50pp3.html
