Noosa recycling app Noosa Council is making it easier for residents to recycle and reduce waste with a new webbased app. Tell the website what items you’d like to recycle or no longer need and find a list of Noosa-specific options to either recycle the item or donate it for repair and reuse. The app features an interactive map with places to recycle, repair, donate and safely dispose of items within the Noosa shire. The Noosa Sorting Guide, accessible through Recycle Mate, provides clarity on recyclable items and identifies nearby away-from-home recycling and recovery options. Council partnered with Recycle Mate, an initiative of the Australian Recycling Industry, in an Australian-
first project to create the custom web-based program especially for Noosa locals. With an item directory of over 7,000 items the Recycle Mate guide is connected to a national program which is constantly updated from community searches across Australia. Every question asked helps Recycle Mate continually improve this resource. If an answer isn’t immediately available your question will be logged and Recycle Mate will work to find you the answer.
