Henderson Waste Recovery Park Tour- August 2023

Do you know what happens to your waste after the truck picks it up from your driveway? Why not come and see?

Join us on August 19^th 2023 for an educational tour of the Henderson Waste Recovery Park. 

In fact, after participating in this tour, you may never think about general waste the same way again.. you will learn how waste can be minimised and avoided, re-used and recycled into new products and how we convert the waste gas into electricity.

And.. you get to stop into our popular Reuse Shop to pick up a few bargains!

Meet at the City of Cockburn Administration Centre carpark to be transported to and from the HWRP in our community bus - departing 9:30am sharp from the Admin Centre carpark.

Please wear enclosed shoes. 

Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements.

Sustainability is a key strategic value for the city of Cockburn. The city has identified the following vision statement to ensure sustainability of its waste management services: "To lead and support a community that avoids waste generation, reduces environmental impacts and consider the waste that is produced as a valuable resource to be recovered, reused and recycled."

In line with the City's and WA State Government Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy, the City of Cockburn’s priority is to AVOID generating waste. Recovery, reprocessing and recycling come next when waste is unavoidable. Disposal of waste to landfill being the least favourable option.
