🌱 Ever wonder what happens after your yellow bin leaves the curb?
Here is the quick journey your recycling takes with the Tambo Waste team:
1. Collection: Our trucks roll through your street to collect your yellow lid bin, keeping recyclable resources completely separate from general waste.
2. Sorting: Everything travels to our local Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). Here, advanced optical scanners, magnets, and our sharp-eyed team sort plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, and metals into dedicated streams.
3. Baling & Processing: Materials are compacted into massive bales and sent to specialized re-processors to be melted, shredded, or pulped into raw materials.
4. New Life: Your old milk bottles, aluminum cans, and cardboard boxes return to supermarket shelves as brand-new products, keeping valuable waste out of East Gippsland landfill!
Thanks for doing your part to keep our region clean and green! ♻️
