Total Green Recycling is excited to be a finalist in this years Waste Sorted awards!
Regional Waste Award
Total Green has been named as a finalist in Category 4 – Regional Waste Award alongside WALGA and Workpower. The team worked tirelessly to set up e-waste collection events in towns across WA. Over 20,000 kilograms of e-waste was recycled thanks to these temporary collections set up in regional towns across WA. The aim behind these events was to make it easy and convenient for residents to recycle their e-waste while also educating residents.
Waste management and innovation award
Town of Cambridge is a finalist in Category 3 – Waste Management Award and Category 8 – Waste Innovation Award. Cambridge partners with Total Green Recycling to host quarterly e-waste drop off days. Through these events they’ve diverted over 17,000kgs from landfill. They were the first to hire our Technology Re-use Centre, which was funded through the New Industries Fund. The Technology Re-use centre allows consumers to watch their data get safely destroyed and are provided certification along with photographic evidence. Uncertainty about how data is destroyed is a barrier to recycling e-waste, and the Technology re-use centre helps combat this. We were very happy to support their nomination for this years awards.
