Latest Addition to the Hub
In place of the outgoing recycling program of Contact Lenses, the Recycling Hub will now be accepting 'Any brand of Used Hair Care and Colour Packaging'.
We are also pleased to announce we are able to collect plastic bottle lids again. Thankfully due to a recent volunteer drop off, we have caught up on the backlog of boxes we collected whilst waiting for Precious Plastics Margaret River to find a new home.
Did you know that through the Containers for Change program, you can recycle all eligible drinking container lids with them? So the next time you go down to the Transfer Station with your empty containers, you can drop their lids off at the same time.
The Recycling Hub will still be available for all other plastic lids, that are not from eligible drinking containers such as those from your milk bottles, food, cleaning or beauty products.

Recycling Hub Wins Award
Western Australia's recycling and waste champions were unveiled in November coinciding with Recycling Week with the announcement of the 2020 Infinity Awards winners.
The Boyup Brook Community Resource Centre took out the Avoid Recover Protect - WA Regional Waste Award in recognition of the significant role it plays in recycling and diverting waste from landfill with the Recycling Hub.
The CRC has been a collection point for recyclable goods since 2018, with the hub now accepting 11 items into an upcycled unit. It has proven to be much more than a collection point for recyclable items, it has opened up the conversation in the community about recycling, repurposing and diverting waste from landfill.
The annual awards - run by the Waste Authority - recognise individuals, businesses, government, schools, community organisations, not-for-profits and media outlets for their innovative solutions to reduce waste and promote reuse and recycling.
A shortlist of more than 100 nominations were assessed by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and the Waste Authority. The calibre of entries was exceptionally high.
Environment Minister Stephen Dawson said "The Infinity Awards acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding achievements of Western Australians working towards a better waste future through improved waste practices and innovative waste solutions. Now more than ever, Western Australia has many individuals and organisations going the extra mile to achieve reductions in waste and an increase in resource recovery.”
The Boyup Brook CRC Recycling Hub currently collects:
Bread Tags; Plastic Bottle Lids; Batteries; Oral Care Products; Mobile Phones; Writing Implements; Soft plastics for REDcycle; Contact Lenses; Nespresso Pods and Stamps

What is the Recycling Hub?
The Boyup Brook Community Resource Centre first offered residents a recycling program in 2018 when it started collecting soft plastics, batteries, mobile phones and Nespresso coffee pods. Since then the hub has grown to now accept 11 items that are collected into a self service, upcycled unit. Each item has its own section, so it is important that all items are clean and dry, sorted into the correct categories and that our clients are only dropping off items on our list. The CRC proudly brings this recycling program to Boyup Brook, to help residents fight the War on Waste. We are very thankful to our supporters and look forward to adding to the hub in the future. The Recycling Hub has its own Hashtag! #BoyupBrookCrcRecyclingHub |
