Council recognises waste is an issue for all sectors of the community. Education helps us to be better informed and helps change the way we do things.
Changing how you treat your waste can lead to other environmental and community improvements.
This is located next to the Transpacific Allbrite Resource Recovery Centre at 69 Innes Street. Discover how a landfill works, have fun learning to recycle with Cory, Popsi, Phil Me-up, and P Baggy, or learn how to shop wisely at "Choose 'n' Save".
Visit with your family and friends. Schools or groups can experience the full centre by booking, either by contacting Council or Allbrite Industries, ph 868-5797.
The centre is open from 8am to 4pm daily.
“Willy on Waste”, is a teacher’s resource kit on environmental waste.
Council’s Environmental Health Section designed and developed the kit for teachers of district intermediate and primary school pupils to create an awareness and knowledge of waste management issues and to equip them with the necessary skills to protect and improve our local environment.
The kit comprises two programmes, one for Levels 1-2, the other for Levels 3-4.

These interactive workshops are held twice annually. Workshops can be tailor-made for groups of 12 or more.
