Cork Recycling Facility
The Watershed is pleased to be a drop-off point for cork recycling. All corks will be donated to NSW Girl Guides, as part of a national effort by Guides Australia to divert cork from landfill and raise funds for development of their outdoor activities program, resources and facilities.
The cork is recycled in Australia and has many uses such as the manufacture of place mats, coasters, floor tiles, gaskets, dart boards and hockey balls to name just a few.
