Waste & Recycling

Get your hands dirty at RWMF Open the RWMF Open Day!

Have you ever wondered what happens to your rubbish after drop-off at the Regional Waste Management Facility? Or maybe you’re curious about landfill operations beyond the public areas?

This month you’ll get your opportunity to have those questions, and many more, answered with the first Regional Waste Management Facility Open Day coming up on Sunday 11 July.

The RWMF will open its gates to the public, with guided bus tours taking you behind the scenes and into the landfill area, so you can see for yourself how Alice Springs’ waste is managed.

You can also get your hands dirty with a ‘Pallets for Posteriors’ workshop, teaching you how to turn old pallets into chairs, PLUS a ‘Wicked Wicking’ workshop, upskilling you to make your own water-efficient wicking beds at home.

A free BBQ will be held on the day, as well as a free lucky dip for kids! The open day is open to all members of the community from 10am-1pm, Sunday 11 July. Don’t waste your Sunday – make your way down to the Regional Waste Day Management Facility, Commonage Road, instead!
