What happens to the contents of the 68,000 red bins that get collected from Shoalhaven residents every week?

This Local Government Week, Shoalhaven City Council invites you to take a behind-the-scenes tour of how a well-engineered landfill operates. See for yourself how your Council manages Shoalhaven's waste everyday and discover the innovative recycling facilities we operate for items beyond the yellow bin.

Shoalhaven's favourite Waste Warrior, Wombat will be your guide so buckle in for some learning and laughs.

This maybe our only weekend tour for 2024 where any Shoalhaven resident can hop on board! Only 22 seats available! ("Tip Tours" normally operate for pre-booked larger groups mid week.)
