National Recycling Week BBQ
08 Nov 2011
Join La Trobe's Sustainability staff for a veggie burger BBQ in the Agora between 11am and 2pm this Thursday 10 November, for all students and staff, to celebrate National Recycling week.
Recently, with assistance from the Packaging Stewardship Forum (PSF) of the Australian Food and Grocery Council, La Trobe installed 134 new waste and recycling bins across the University's five campuses in Melbourne, Bendigo, Albury-Wodonga, Mildura and Shepparton. Each bin carries the call to action to Do The Right Thing, Use the Right Bin.
The new systems will provide away from home recycling opportunities for up to 26,000 students and 2,500 staff and divert at least 140 tonnes of PET and aluminium cans from landfill each year - enough to fill almost 19,450 household wheelie bins.
