Regional Resource Recovery
RAMJO supports Regional Resource Recovery as an integrated and co-operative approach to waste management that is efficient, cost effective, sustainable and aims to improve resource recovery across the region.
The RAMJO Regional Waste Strategy 2022- 2027 identifies the priorities for the region and determines the current and future services, infrastructure and educational requirements to develop a sustainable waste and resource recovery management system.
RAMJO works with 13 Councils across the region. Previously known as the Riverina Waste Group and Murray Waste Group, these council members now combine their efforts and have a number of current projects underway primarily funded by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

Key Initiatives
Community Recycling Centres
Your local Community Recycling Centre offers a FREE and EASY solution to safely dispose of your household problem waste items.
Bin Trim
The Bin Trim program provides free support and advice to NSW businesses to maximise recycling and minimise waste to landfill.
Food Waste
When Food Waste is sent to landfill, it significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Diverting food waste from landfill is an effective way to cut emissions and also create a resource, such as compost products to be used in other applications.
Education
The Halve Waste campaign was established in 2010 to deliver the target of halving the region’s waste to landfill by 2020
