Resource and Waste Expo: 5Rs of Zero Waste

In further efforts to help Snowy Monaro residents improve their recycling, Council is encouraging locals to head along to this year’s Resource and Waste Expo.

The Expo is a family-friendly event with activities, demonstrations and entertainment designed to teach all ages about the 5Rs of zero waste. The 5Rs are: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot.

Held at the Jindabyne Memorial Hall between 10am-3pm, the Expo’s theme is Beyond the Bin – Putting the 5Rs into the Spotlight.

The 5Rs will help residents improve their recycling routine through limiting the amount of waste thrown away. This will help conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy.

There will be a range of interactive workshops on the day, including sewing, home composting and successful tree planting.

The expo will showcase performances by the Eaton Gorge Theatre Company’s ‘The Waste Warriors’ who will educate the community in reducing waste to landfill.
