Glass RECYCLING

There are many positive environmental effects of recycling glass:

• Saves natural resources such as sand, soda ash and limestone.
• Saves energy – recycled glass melts at a lower temperature than raw materials.
• Reduces emissions; there are no byproducts, air emissions are reduced and no waste is generated.

What glass can be recycled?
All clear, green and amber glass bottles. All glass jars.

This service is available for on site Commercial Buildings, Industrial sites and Hotels. All glass / commingle waste that is collected from the source is brought back to our Materials Recycling Facility where it is sent for further recycling. This ensures that it is diverted from landfill.

PAPER RECYCLING

One great reason to recycle paper:
In Australia there are 20 billion fewer trees than when Europeans first settled here in 1788. They have been felled to provide timber and make way for development. Trees are vital, they regulate temperature, and keep our air clean. That is one great reason to recycle paper.

All paper collected is 100 % recycled.

Every tonne of paper recycled saves 2.5 barrels of oil, 4100 kWh of electricity, 4 cubic metres of landfill and 31,780 litres of water. All paper that is collected by Waste-Free is brought to our Materials Recycling Facility where it is baled and sent for further recycling diverting it from landfill.
