Liverpool Plains Shire Council promotes recycling and waste minimisation. Council encourages residents to compost food scraps and other decomposable materials for use in their gardens. A kerbside recycling service is provided within the urban area and each urban residence is supplied with a special recycling crate, to all households. Lost crates will be replaced, subject to a charge. There is also a free recycling deposit area for ratepayers at the Quirindi, Willow Tree and Werris Creek landfill sites. Recycling is as much a way of thinking as of doing. By incorporating the 4 “R’s of rubbish” (ie. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Responsible disposal) into our everyday lives, we can help contribute to a sustainable environment which has considerable economic and social benefits for our community.
Oil recycling
