COLDSTREAM’S recycling centre has had a $200,000 upgrade to cater for booming demand for electronics waste recycling.
The upgrade included improvements to e-waste recovery systems and additional unloading bays.
Yarra Ranges Mayor Len Cox said the improvements were completed in response to an increased number of recyclables, particularly electrical goods such as televisions, computers and appliances, being collected at the site.
‘‘As technology improves, so too does our ability to recycle a larger variety of used goods, including TV sets, computers and other equipment, which is a much better alternative to sending them directly to landfill,’’ Cr Cox said.
‘‘Improvements at the site will also help in reducing traffic congestion and queues, enabling residents to unload their recyclables in less time.’’
The Coldstream Recovery and Waste Transfer Centre is in Ingram Rd.
