Business as usual for recycling in Baw Baw

Published on 30 July 2019

Baw Baw Shire residents are encouraged to keep recycling as usual with Council’s service contract unaffected by recent industry developments.

Last Thursday, SKM Recycling – one of three main recycling processors in Victoria – announced they will temporarily stop accepting recycling material. As a result, some affected Council’s will be forced to divert recyclables to landfill.

Baw Baw Shire Council continues to have a strong resource recovery stream, supplied by Solo Resource Recovery and Polytrade Recycling.

“It’s recycling as usual for Baw Baw. Last financial year Baw Baw residents kept 10,500 tonnes of recyclables and organics out of landfill. Our community does a great job recycling and we encourage you to keep up the good work!”

“It’s more important than ever to be mindful of what we are putting in our household bins. Waste avoidance is always best practice, so we highly encourage everyone to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible.”
