Nobody likes seeing good stuff go to waste. The good news is, a lot of your surplus construction materials can be reused or recycled.

Did you know that currently around a third of our district’s rubbish being sent out to the dump comes out of our building sites? Join us to learn some practical tips to cut down on your building waste. This workshop is designed to up-skill you on on best site C&D waste management and diversion options within the district using available reuse, exchange, take-back and recycling systems. Learn on-site from sector leaders and their journey and techniques to managing and minimising waste.

This interactive workshop is split into two sessions, Construction Waste 101: What Is The Problem? and Construction Waste 102: Setting Up A Plan. Who is this for? Targeted to both sole builders or larger construction companies, all tradies are welcome, cheese scones and coffee provided!
