Hobsons Bay TEN (Teachers Environment Network) Meeting - Term 4, 2023

JOIN US FOR A LOCAL RECYCLING FACTORY TOUR

Have you ever wondered what happens to your recycling?

This tour is a must-see for anyone interested in learning more about how we can reduce our waste. 

Walking around the site is fascinating - a visceral assault on all your senses.  

The tour will be hosted by APR's Education team and will include opportunities for you to:  

• learn about “wish-cycling”
• understand the daily challenges and limitations of operating a recycling facility
• participate in a fun quiz about what can and can't be recycled
• be confronted by common myths and the mythbusting realities of recycling

Date, time and location:

• Tuesday 14th November 2023
• 4-5pm
• APR Kerbside, 9 Felstead Dr, Truganina VIC 3029, Australia

Additional details:

• Please make your own way to the site by 3.50pm - plenty of onsite parking is available.
