The Big Cleanup

Gone are the days of dumping all our excess and unwanted goods at the tip.

Landfills are mostly made up of non-biodegradable waste which takes a long time to decompose.

By recycling we can lessen the waste materials that are placed into landfills and make the most of these materials.
