Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre’s Virtual Tour
The video also takes a closer look at Orange’s 3-bin kerbside system, as provided to residents by Council. The footage shows the journey of each waste stream and provides an insight into what happens to waste materials beyond the kerbside.
By using the Council-provided bins and the ORRRC, Orange residents can greatly reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill. Orange City Council is also one of a growing number of Councils that accepts food and garden waste in the green-lidded bin, which is then turned into, Australian standard compost through a state-of-the-art organics composting facility.
The ORRRC Virtual Tour video can be viewed on the Orange City Council website, along with information about upcoming Waste Facility Tours run by EnviroCom Australia, for residents who are interested in attending a free guided tour of Orange’s waste facilities.
An article in the local Central Western Daily newspaper in February 2020 helped to further promote Orange City Council’s waste education program and waste facility tours.
