Waste Wise Businesses - Leading By Example
In addition to working with our Member Councils, schools and community groups, the Central Murray RWMG also assists small and medium size businesses wanting to improve the way they manage waste being generated.
Join the program and get plenty of freebies!!
A toolkit is available to assist businesses to join the Waste Wise program, including tips for waste reduction, reuse and recycling, how to conduct a waste audit, and templates for developing and implementing an action plan to reduce waste. Businesses who also participate in the program, will receive VISY paper recycled bins, posters and signs and stickers for bins.

Waste Wise Health Care
East Wimmera Health Service became the GOLD CERTIFIED Waste Wise healthcare provider in the Central Murray Region in December 2009. EWHS has made some signficant improvements to their waste and recycling systems. Since 2006 they have reduced their by 18 tonnes and increased their recycling by an increadible 44 tonnes. They currently divert 35% of their waste for recycling (by weight) or 45% by volume.
With the introduction of kerbside recycling in the Loddon Shire, Boort and District Health and Inglewood and District Health were keen to utilise the Waste Wise program to help them improve their waste management systems. They were both certified as Waste Wise in 2007. IDHS completed a new action plan and achieved silver certification in June 2009. Cohuna District Health Service has also recieved their silver certificate in October 2009.

Waste Wise Tertiary Sector
 The CMRWMG certified the Sunraysia TAFE Swan Hill Campus a bronze level Waste Wise organisation in early 2007.
The Swan Hill Campus could see a need to introduce effective recycled systems around the campus to help reduce their waste disposal costs and to improve resource recovery. As part of their action plan, students from the campus are now collecting aluminum cans to assist in fund raising and they are looking to expand this into the wider community by setting up can recycling bins at local businesses in Swan Hill.
The staff and students have also embraced improved paper and cardboard recycling facilities. In late May 2007, the TAFE changed all their copy paper over to recycled content paper which is a fantastic achievement.
