Some tips to reduce your business waste going to landfill
  • Leftover food donation: If you are in the hospitality sector, a food retailer or simply have large amounts of leftover food during your operation, consider donating your excess food to organisations such as Food rescue kitchen project (Slow Food Hunter Valley), OzHarvest, SecondBite and Foodbank. 
  • Disposal of old computers, laptops and printers: If you need to dispose of these items and other electronic waste visit Planet Ark's business recycling directory.
  • Disposal of printer cartridges: To find locations where your printer cartridges can be dropped off for recycling or to arrange workplace collection visit cartridges4planetark.
