REROC - Recycle Night Recycle Right

About

The Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils (REROC) is a voluntary association of seven General Purpose Councils and one water county councils located in the eastern Riverina region of NSW. Every fortnight we do it. Close the lid on our recycling bin, wheel it out to the kerb, and... forget about it. Somehow we've become removed from the rest of the story. Sure, the recycling truck makes its way down the street, lifting bins high into the air as bottles and cartons crash, bang and rattle their way down into the truck. When the truck fills up, it returns to your local recycling facility (known as MRFs) where a bob cat scoops the contents onto a conveyor belt, from there your recycling is hand-sorted by a fantastic group of hard-working, enthusiastic and friendly workers. In Wagga Wagga and Cootamundra, MRFs are operated by two locally-based disability support organisations: Kurrajong Recycling and Elouera Association Inc. Each employee is unique, but there's a few things that they all have in common - and that's the purpose the job brings to their lives, how happy they are to be there, and how proud they are of the role they play within the community that benefits the environment.
