Excursions

A tour of the Albury Waste Management Centre is a fun and insightful way to see first-hand what happens to the waste we generate locally and the associated environmental impacts.

The tour can be incorporated with a waste education session on site to tie in key actions that can be taken to increase waste sustainability at home and at school.
