Yarra Ranges Council is urging residents to continue recycling, following recent media reports of recycling plant closures.
Recyclables collected in the area will not be diverted to landfill.
Recycling provider SKM recently had its Laverton North centre closed by the EPA, meaning a number of Councils in Victoria have had to re-assess their recycling programs and make alternative plans.
Yarra Ranges Council uses VISY for its recycling collection and processing, and is confident that recyclables collected in the area will continue to be processed.
The recent closure of SKM’s centre will not have any impact on our area.
We urge residents to continue separating their waste and recycling.
