2 Recycling s as easy as RRRC The Regional Resource Recovery Centre, or RRRC, is a green initiative of the Southern Metropolitan Regional Council, or SMRC, established to represent five local councils south of Perth, including Cockburn, East Fremantle, Fremantle, Kwinana and Melville. Covering an area of 340km 2 and a combined population of over 260,000 residents, it uses state of the art technology and infrastructure to process waste and recover recyclables for reuse. The RRRC diverts more than 60,000 tonnes of waste per year from landfill and prevents about 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, which is equivalent to taking more than 6,000 cars off the road. Free tours of the RRRC are available, helping to educate people about the recycling process, while offering safe and clear views into the different facilities.

Place your yellow recycling bin about half a metre from the green bin to allow clear access for the side loading service vehicle s grab arm. Please do not overfill your bin as the rubbish and recycling trucks hydraulics cannot lift bins weighing over 70kg, or those overfull with the lid open. Hot or burning ash, liquid wastes, oil, paint, solvents or heavy materials should not be placed in your bin as they may damage the bin, waste collection vehicle and the environment. Your bin lid must close so that the contents do not spill when it is lifted, or the lid does not blow open causing street litter. Place your bin clear of parked cars, trees, poles, etc to allow clear access to the service vehicles. Only waste placed inside the bin will be collected. HANDY HINTS Return bins to your property as soon as possible. Store bins in a shaded area. Clean bins regularly. Wrap all moist and perishable foods in newspaper before placing in your green bin. Freeze all smelly food and place in your green bin the night before collection. Put lawn clippings and small prunings on top of the material in your green bin to prevent jamming.
