Waste and recycling tours are available to primary and secondary schools and community groups upon request throughout the year.
These tours are provided free* and run approximately between 60 - 90 minutes on site via a bus tour.
Tour days: Wednesdays and Thursdays
Waste facility
Your bus will drive around the Bundaberg Waste Management Facility to view different stockpile areas and see how the local waste facility works.
Recycling facility (MRF)
Tour participants will view where recycling from yellow lid recycling bins goes to be processed. This facility also processes containers from the local Container Refund Scheme (CRS) collection points.
Due to safety regulations, we are unable to provide onsite tours of the MRF. However, participants will learn about recycling and view the facility from the bus.
Collections depot
The collections depot is the central operations area for local waste and recycling collection trucks and wheelie bins.
*Please note: a bus is required for the duration of the whole tour - to be organised by the school / community group.
Waste and Recycling Services offer promotion bags full of fun, educational items for schools and community groups.
Bags can include pencils, rulers, stickers, activity booklets, colouring pencil packs and flyers.
