Beyond the Bin: A Back-to-Basics Waste & Recycling Session - Plastic Free July

Ever wondered what actually happens to your rubbish, FOGO and recycling once it’s collected?

Join us at Banyule's newly reopened Rethink Centre for a back-to-basics waste information session designed to cut through the confusion and answer those everyday questions about what goes in which bin and why. We’ll break down the fundamentals of waste, recycling and food and garden organics, share common mistakes we see, and offer practical tips to help you better manage your waste at home.

The session will also include a viewing of the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) from a dedicated platform, giving you a rare behind-the-scenes look at how recycling is sorted and processed in real time. Seeing the system in action helps bring the theory to life and often changes the way people think about what they put in their bins.

Perfect for anyone wanting a clearer understanding of waste and recycling, whether you’re just getting started or looking to refresh your knowledge.

Please ensure you wear closed toe footwear.
