Resource Recovery Australia is a not-for-profit social enterprise that works in waste management to keep waste out of landfill, create jobs for people experiencing barriers to work, and to engage and connect people in our communities.
WHAT WE DO
Last financial year we helped divert over 11,965 tonnes of waste from landfill for reuse and recycling. We employed 196 people to do this.
Resource Recovery Australia (RRA) is a social enterprise: a different kind of business
Resource Recovery Australia is a not-for-profit social enterprise. We work with local Councils and communities to:
– Keep waste out of landfill – Create stable and meaningful jobs for people experiencing barriers to work (75% of our workforce) – Engage and connect people in the communities in which we work
