Since the closure of the SKM Recycling facility in South Geelong the City has sourced recycling destinations for cardboard, paper, metal and aluminium cans and glass bottles and jars.
The facilities at the resource centres have been upgraded so that residents can separate these items and drop them off at specially marked bins. They then can be processed for recycling.
Residents can drop off the following items for recycling at the Drysdale Resource Recovery Centre at no cost:
- paper- recycled by GT Recycling
- cardboard (excluding any cardboard container designed to hold liquids such as coffee cups, milk or juice cartons) recycled by GT Recycling
- aluminium and metal cans - recycled by SIMS Metal
- glass bottles and jars (no lids) - recycled by the Alex Fraser Group.
- mixed plastics numbered 1,2,4 and 5 - recycled by Advanced Circular Polymers.
