Community Tour of Summerhill Waste Management Centre - Low Waste Living

Ever wondered what happens to the contents of your bin once it's emptied into the collection truck? 

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at Summerhill Waste Management Centre. 

The tour will depart from Wallsend Library and will include a stop at the Summerhill Education Room, before a visit to the onsite resource recovery centre and landfill.

Here you will find out what happens to your recycling, green waste and general waste, how we process it and what we are doing to reduce our impact on the environment.
