The internet is a weird and wonderful place as we all know. And one of the great things about it, is the ability to connect people to each other in ways they may not have normally been able to do. We have compiled a list of websites and apps which are very useful for dealing with a number of different types of waste, and also provide the ability to connect with like minded others.
If you find an app or a website that you think should be included, please let us know by sending us an email: info@gcwwrrg.vic.gov.au.
