Kimbriki Open Day
November 16 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join us for the 2024 Kimbriki Open Day. Celebrating 50 years of dedication and operations in the waste management and resource recovery industry located at Ingleside on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
The Kimbriki site receives over 330,000 tonnes of waste annually, with close to 80% currently being recycled. Kimbriki has two Shareholders, Northern Beaches Council (96%) and Mosman Council (4%) and works with its community, shareholders, employees, contractors, partners and the waste industry to deliver and promote efficient, cost effective services that reduce waste to landfill and increase resource recovery. KEE also delivers waste education messaging through its Eco House and Garden facility and hosts local charities who promote repair and reuse through its Hub facility.
On Saturday 16th November, the community have the opportunity to experience first hand the Working Circular Economy at Kimbriki.
Come along and see some of the many Rethink, Reduce, Re-use and Recycle displays, workshops, tours, demonstrations, giveaways, challenges and opportunities to chat with Kimbriki team members, HUB volunteers and like minded people in our community.
The kids can enjoy face painting, make their own pedal powered smoothie, take on our environmental challenges, enjoy story time with Tilly the Turtle, enter name our Giraffes, wander the Discovery Trail, see the amazing Senior Toy Recyclers and much more!
