Some goods or materials can be resold or repurposed, while various businesses in Greater Shepparton offer recycling programs for difficult-to-recycle items.

Shoes

TreadLightly is a national recycling initiative that takes unwanted sport and active lifestyle footwear and responsibly recycles it to give it new life.

Bring your pre-loved sports shoes into a participating retailer and drop them off in the designated collection unit. Your footwear is collected and sent to the recycling plant for sorting, breakdown and processing here in Australia. Reusable components are extracted, including rubber, leather and fibres at the recycling facility. Reclaimed materials are used to manufacture new products such as gym mats, floors and playgrounds.

The following locations are participating retailers:

  • The Athlete’s Foot Shepparton
    Shop 16 Centrefair Plaza, Maude St Mall, Shepparton 
  • Drummond Golf Shepparton
    162 High Street, Shepparton
  • SportsPower Shepparton
    80 High St, Shepparton

Other items too good to throw away

Terracycle offers free recycling solutions for typically hard-to-recycle waste streams. Their easy-to-use solutions help everyone, including individuals, offices, schools, facilities, and more, partnering with business such as David Jones, Mecca, Rip Curl and Sephora to offer free in-store drop-off points for your previously loved items. 

Also, our Resale Shops are a great place to purchase used household items that are still in good usable condition, such as couches, bikes and kids toys.

If you have unwanted items in good working condition that you think would be suitable for the Resale Shop, please show our staff at the Resource Recovery Centre, and they will assess them. Please note:

  • We might not be able to accept every item.
  • Only items that are in good condition will be accepted. We can't accept damaged goods.
  • We can't accept electrical goods or baby items.
