Louise McIntosh with Bowen Waste says that Saturday’s special waste day brought approximately 30 tonnes of junk to the recycling depot.
“That’s pretty typical,” she says. “Add to the 30 mattresses and 20 appliances brought in. What amazes me, is the number of people who pay to have us dispose of their electronics such as televisions and computers and stereo systems when it can all be recycled for free simply by being brought to the depot on a regular day.”
