One of our key focuses at Barossa Co-op is our impact on the environment and how we can help protect it.
We are focused on improving the management of our wastes and becoming better recyclers; ultimately reducing the waste we send to landfill.
At Barossa Fresh, we recycle;
- Nespresso pods
- Our own in-store cardboard packaging
- 2 Litre milk caps
- Bread tags
Barossa Fresh works closely with Foodbank with food rescue and with Barossa Lutheran Community Care to assist their emergency relief program.
We have in-store trolleys that are each made from 66 plastic milk bottles!
Barossa Mitre 10 also does their bit for the environment by engaging Toxfree to recycle light globes. Fluorescent tubes, compact fluoros (CFLs), HIDs and metal halides all contain mercury and need to be recycled through council, commercial or community programs that safely separate the different elements. They also have a battery recycling station and take used plastic plant pots.
For more information on how to recycle your globes, batteries and plastic plant pots please contact Barossa Mitre 10 on (08) 8568 6005.
