Warren Blackwood Waste - Introduction
To the Residents of the Shire of Dumbleyung
As we have been successful in the tender process and now have the contract to service both the recycling and waste bins in the shire we thought it was a good time to introduce ourselves to the community and explain what happens to the material you place in your bins.
Warren Blackwood Waste is a family owned business which was formed by my father, Paul Webb and has been operating in regional WA since 1999.
Each week we pick up the waste bins in Dumbleyung, Moulyinning and Kukerin and then transport and empty this waste to the waste site in Dumbleyung. Each fortnight on recycling day, we pick up the waste bins first, empty the waste material at the waste site and then start the recycling. We reverse the route, pick up the recycle bins and transport the recyclable material back to our Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Kojonup. Please wave to our driver Giles if you see him.
We have three fulltime workers who work at our MRF who sort all the recyclable material by hand. The Shire of Dumbleyung recycling takes approximately 5 hours to sort. It is very important to have your recyclables loose and relatively clean in your yellow lid bins. As our workers sort it by hand and recyclables in plastic bags won’t be sorted as unfortunately we do get some nasty stuff in bags with the recycling e.g. food scraps, nappies, needles etc. Although it sounds very unpleasant, sorting by hand optimises the amount of recoverable material collected from each load.
Recyclable material includes- paper, cardboard, plastic containers, bottles, cans and glass. Common materials we get that aren’t recyclable include- styrofoam, clothes, UHT containers (long life milk, juice boxes), ceramics and yes, nappies! We would like to encourage anyone to call in at our facility at 54 Tunney Road in Kojonup to have a look at what happens to your recyclables and to see that “no” the same truck does not do two laps of town and then take both bins to the dump… Trust me, it would be a total waste (pardon the pun!) of our time, fuel and wages.
Warren Blackwood Waste prides itself on our exceptional service and communication with its shires and its residents. If you would like any further information, please email us atwbwaste@bigpond.com. Warren Blackwood Waste will also be sponsoring a golf day at Lake View Golf Course on Saturday 27th July so please come down and have a chat with me.
Kind regards
