WasteWise has made excellent progress in the months since its inception. The Group includes Wendy Baker, Kay Blore, Michael Hillenaar, Karen Nankervis and Judy Swartzman. We have worked closely with Shannan Cooper, Waste Manager of Benalla Rural City Council who attends our meetings and provides valuable insights into Council policies and practices.
We have reduced landfill in Benalla by encouraging recycling of milk bottle tops, bread tags, medicine blister packs and some soft plastics. We have established connections and continue to work with some Benalla businesses in recycling printer cartridges, old sneakers, reading glasses and hearing aids, and continue to look for other opportunities help reduce our waste to landfill. A number of WasteWise articles have been published in the Benalla Ensign on how to reduce waste to landfill by following simple recycling or reuse tips: these continue to be published as the Ensign sees fit.
An exciting opportunity has been provided by Shannan who has given approval to the Group to modify Benalla’s app “BRCC Waste” with additions and corrections on individual items. This app could become a significant community resource in the future in the ongoing work of reducing our landfill and the economic, ecological and environmental impact from waste in Benalla.
