Services & development

Recycling and environmental work, on Country.

Plastic collection & recycling

Collection in pictures

By water.
By road. By hand.

These photographs show the practical work behind collection: bags aboard the Crystal Ailan boat, a ute and trailer at the shore, and hands-on loading in the community.

The boat ramp connects two parts of that work. Road transport and manual handling are just as visible as the vessel itself. This is a photographic record, not a published collection route or timetable.

Photographs supplied by Crystal Ailan. Capture dates and exact locations have not been confirmed. Contact the team about current collection arrangements.
