A bloke that loves talking rubbish, and believes recovering resources from waste is a critical issue for modern society.

A horrifying insight into what happens when #lithiumbatteries are put in the #recycling bin - staff are put at risk and #MRFs face disruption, damage and destruction. This video shows an #ebike #battery, but the message is clear: NO #batteries should go in ANY household bins.

My favourite event of the year (yes, I mean it, and no, I haven’t forgotten xmas!).

[Garth Lamb @GarthRecovery]

@TimWilsonMP @TimWilsonMP drink containers make up almost half of Vic’s litter. The upcoming CDS will reward recycling efforts by giving people 10c per eligible container - you could have 30c there! Next time you're in Canberra check out @ReturnItACT to see how a CDS will help clean up Vic!

[9News Adelaide @9NewsAdel]

I think my grab here was late 2017, and I remember at the time not knowing if the entire recycling system was about to collapse. Very glad it didn’t, and that we’ve made huge progress the last 4 years…lots of exciting new facilities in the pipeline too https://t.co/JS0MQMFPXo

@WMRRAus @CeoWmrr Really enjoyed the opportunity to work with so many smart, passionate people through @WMRRAus, thanks to all the members who contribute so much, and also the wonderful national team led by @CeoWmrr! I’m sure it will only go from strength to strength with Geoff Webster as chair!

[Gayle Sloan, CEO WMRR @CeoWmrr]

Listening to the most awesome @jennybarnes talk about the #3Cs #courage #confidence and #competence ❤️

Great to see Vic moving ahead with its CDS, which will deliver huge benefits for the environment and the community!

[Lily D'Ambrosio MP @LilyDAmbrosioMP]

Cash for cans is set to start in 2023. Today I announced our exciting next step: how the scheme will work. Our focus is on maximising recycling of drink containers, an accountable system, and giving community and charity groups new and easy ways to fundraise.

[WMRR @WMRRAus]

The National #Plastics Plan is the furthest the feds have ever gone in closing the loop – well done for taking leadership! It seems the penny has dropped and we look forward to the government’s reformist agenda continuing for plastics and #packaging. More: https://t.co/0AmdFomask
