Landfill and Recycling Facilities Tour

Landfill and Recycling Facilities Tour

Registration for this event opens on 31 August 2026

Presenter: Sam Holt

The tour will begin at the Kurrajong Materials Recovery Facility where we will see how recyclables are separated and processed.  This provides insight into the importance of correct recycling at home and how it directly impacts recovery rates and contamination.

Then on through the transfer station and Community Recycling Centre, learning how to correctly dispose of problem and hazardous waste.  The tour highlights how separating these materials can allow residents to dispose of them safely and for free.

Finally, the tour concludes at the Gregadoo Centre, where we will learn how general waste is managed, compacted and contained, alongside the environmental controls in place.  Together, this tour demonstrates Wagga Council's commitment to resource recovery and the vital role the community play.

Enclosed shoes are essential. A water bottle and snacks are suggested.  All other PPE will be provided. 

Park on Chaston Street outside Kurrajong Centre, then meet at the sign in office.  A minibus will return you to your vehicle between 1:00 - 1:30pm after the tours are concluded.

Registration is free but a gold coin is required to attend the session.
