FREE Business Visual Waste Assessments

The RAMJO Resource Recovery Team are conducting FREE business waste assessments to businesses in the Riverina Waste Group Region!  If you are a business located within the Carrathool, Griffith, Hay, Leeton, Murrumbidgee or Narrandera Shire Councils and are interested in finding out how to recycle more and minimise your waste costs, simply contact us.

The assessments will take up to1 hour depending on the size of the business.  It involves a waste assessor looking at your waste systems and making recommendations on actions that may reduce your waste.  You will receive a report within 7 business days of the waste assessment being conducted, which highlights observations and future recommendations.
