What happens with the recycling?
The kerbside recycling collected in Kingborough is transported to the Cleanaway recycling facility at Lutana for sorting and baling for transport to the mainland for sale to recycling manufacturers. The only exception is glass which is separated from the other recyclables and transported to Hazell Brothers at HBMI Leslie Vale for crushing and re-use in road base material, bricks and road construction.
Approximately 8% of materials that are processed at the Lutana facility are sent to landfill. These contaminated materials are primarily plastic bags, nappies, building materials and organic matter that are not suitable for recycling at the plant.
