The Vortex Recycling Tent – Powered by WOW (Without Waste)
The Recycling Tent at Into the Vortex will be run by Kate and her dedicated team from Without Waste, bringing innovative recycling solutions and education to the heart of the festival.
The centrally located Recycling Hub will be staffed to help attendees sort their waste into various streams.
We’ll accept CLEAN #1, #2, and #5 plastics (NO LIDS), aluminium cans, paper, cardboard, soft plastics, e-waste, and metal.
Bespoke recycling options will also be available for items that can be processed at local Recycling Centres — just ask our team if you’re unsure about specific items!
Stop by the Recycling Tent not only to sort your recyclables but also to learn what’s truly recyclable, play a fun waste-focused game, and discover how you can make a difference.
