In the 1990's, Shoalhaven Recycling first began as a basic and novel service to the citizens of the greater Nowra area. Managing director Sandy Wilson saw the increasing need for minimising and eliminating conventional waste and for recognising materials as renewable. In this period, the knowledge and understanding of recycling was just beginning. In the 20+ years since, increasing information about the vital need to reuse our dwindling resources has become apparent. Shoalhaven Recycling has been around since the beginning, and today, we continue to make strides towards a better future for our communities. The way we live today is interrupting the earth’s natural processes. As populations grow and resources deplete, it has become increasingly clear that it is our responsibility as Earth’s residents to use our limited resources wisely. This means reusing what we’ve been given and living as responsible stewards. Recycling is one of the simplest ways to contribute to the health and conservation of our planet, and it’s this process that our organisation is dedicated to. Recycling ensures that materials and resources aren’t discarded to contribute to the already crowded landfills across Australia. Instead, these still very useful and valuable materials can serve our society as they are repurposed into a whole host of items. Shoalhaven Recycling is devoted to encouraging NSW to continue towards a greener tomorrow.
