THE recycling centre in Delamore Road, Hillcrest, reopened in July 2020 after three months of lockdown.
It is being very happily and successfully managed by Brad Speirs, who is also manager of The Upcyclers.
The aim is to encourage recycling, reuse and reduction – the three Rs that are as important as the three Rs we learn in Grade 1.

These outcomes will be achieved through three (3) supporting pillars, namely Waste Minimisation; Effective and Sustainable Waste Services; Compliance, Enforcement and Awareness.”
