Footy fans heading to the derby at Patersons Stadium this Sunday are being encouraged to do the right thing and use the right bin.

Funded by the Packaging Stewardship Forum of the Australian Food and Grocery Council and Patersons Stadium, 100 new waste and recycling bins have been installed throughout the venue, each carrying the national call to action to “do the right thing, use the right bin”.

The new recycling systems will provide away-from-home recycling opportunities for up to 1 million visitors to the oval annually and divert up to 50 tonnes of aluminium cans, PET and glass bottles from landfill each year - enough to fill almost 7,000 household wheelie bins.

West Coast hopes all fans will support this new initiative and make use of the bins wherever possible.
