Rubbish, Waste and Recycling
In 2008/09, residents in Three Rivers recycled about 49.3% of their waste. We hope to reach, maintain and go beyond 50% shortly and would ask all resident to follow the information on this website to ensure the correct items are being placed out for collection.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all residents for their continued efforts.
