We are grateful to all of industry for all the effort and support for the Construction Plastics Recycling Scheme, which gives new life to valuable PVC off-cuts that would have been otherwise discarded to landfill. We now have recycling bins in 40 locations across Queensland, making it even more accessible for plumbers and tradies to do their part. MPAQ CEO Penny Cornah and PIPA Executive General Manager Cindy Bray have been busy in the last months visiting industry stores and partners across Queensland to check in on their PVC Recycling bins and efforts. Check out our recent visits to Gatton, Alexandra Hills, Toowoomba, and Ipswich! Find your nearest bin: https://lnkd.in/gzmc--vA

In Queensland, a floor waste is not mandatory in a Class 1 building. However, where a floor waste gully is to be installed for the purpose of receiving discharge from waste fixtures, they must be installed according to NCC 2022 guidelines.

Mental Health is men's health. International Men’s Day is an important day to highlight the importance of conversations surrounding men's mental health. And for the whole year of 2024, we raised money for TIACS, a free phone and text counselling service offering mental health support to Australia’s blue-collar community. Join us today at the International Men's Day Breakfast and Trade Show to raise final funds and present the cheque to TIACS. We will be at PICAC Beenleigh from 7am-9am. Here's a reminder to always check up on yourself and your mates to keep everyone healthy – both physically and mentally! 🤙
