National Recycling Week runs next week from Monday 9 to Sunday 15 November 2020!

Borden supporting recycling

Residents in the Borden area have been doing their bit to support recycling and the students at the Borden Primary School at the same time.

The Borden P and C is taking part in the Cash for Containers program, receiving and delivering certain items to Albany for recycling. The P and C has established a community drop-off point with the help of The Pub, Borden, at the Pub car park.

Already in about a five-week period, locals have dropped off enough items for recycling to almost fill four bulk containers. The bulk containers have been delivered to the Cash for Containers depot for the eligible bottles and drink cartons to be recycled, earning a 10c refund per container.

The Bluff Knoll Cafe is kindly donating funds from their recycling to the P and C.

The funds raised are going towards supporting the educational outcomes for all students at Borden Primary School.
