"The Rann Government is further investing in efforts to further cut waste going to landfill with the announcement of five major grants totalling $1.1 million to support the work of five South Australian organisations. Minister for Environment and Conservation Gail Gago says the projects will help divert 100,000 tonnes of recyclable waste from landfill - including garden organics, glass, electronic waste and material from household and commercial recycling collections.
Every step we take to increase the recovery of waste and divert it from landfill reduces the environmental impacts of harmful green house gases, says Minister Gago."
