Follow Your Waste tours
Have you ever wondered what happens to your recycling, household rubbish and garden waste once it leaves your kerb? Would you like to learn more about reducing your waste going to landfill and how to become a better recycler?
The Follow your Waste tours allow the community to visit a recycling sorting facility, a landfill site and a garden waste composting facility. To check if there are any tours coming up, visit the waste education events page or email wasteevents@cgd.vic.gov.au to be notified of the next tour.

The workshops cover a range of themes, including:
