Guided bus tours of the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre are an excellent way for students and adults to see first-hand what happens to the waste we create in our own homes and schools.
A limited number of tours each year can be organised, targeted to schools and groups in the Lismore LGA who are working to reduce their own waste generation.
