Meet Samala, Our New Waste Education Officer

Samala Heart will be supporting our community to avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle our waste items as best we can.

“It’s an exciting time in the waste industry,” says Samala.

“Following China’s National Sword Policy, the country’s recycling efforts are being looked at with fresh eyes."

"Our approach is ‘we’re all in this together’. This includes residents supporting the local recycling industry by doing their bit and clubs, schools and community groups involving themselves in initiatives like Boomerang Bags and Return and Earn programs."

"The current nationwide focus on improving onshore processing of recyclable materials will be better for the environment and provide more jobs here.

We’re lucky to be part of an innovative region who work together to create positive change, so it’s important to make sure that we’re only placing items that can be recycled in the yellow-lidded recycling bin. This supports our recycling efforts and assists the sorting staff at Lismore’s Recycling Facility to excel at their jobs.”
