In July, ACT Whitsundays presented a solution to the region's recycling issues at a council meeting. Council unanimously passed the motion put forward, which involved using council libraries as a collection point for "hard to recycle waste” such as bottles, toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, hair product bottles and the tops of pump bottles. The waste would then be posted to New South Wales company TerraCycle and who would use it to create outdoor furniture... Ms Adamson said volunteers would need to be prepared to empty the bins, pick up and sort out the recycling and then post them away to TerraCycle.
