Queensland Corrective Services’ Post

#FlashbackFriday: Remember Lotus Glen Correctional Centre's Environmental Management Recycling Program? 🤔🙋 Well, it's been nominated as a finalist in the Waste Innovation and Recycling Awards for most Outstanding WARR (Waste and Resource Recovery) Project, Regional/Rural! 🎉 Celebrated for diverting about 50% of the centre’s waste from landfill, it’s not only Queensland’s largest recycling program in a correctional facility but it’s also providing employable skills to prisoners to increase their opportunities upon release – a win/win! We wish the team all the best in vying for the national award on October 23.

This #takealookinside Tuesday highlights how QCS is helping Keep Australia Beautiful through initiatives like our award-winning Environmental Recycling Program at Lotus Glen Correctional Centre. More than 700kgs of waste is collected and sorted each day, taking 9 skips of landfill down to two. Landfill is reduced, we’re sending every piece of plastic we can off to be repurposed and the work program prisoners are learning about environmental management. It is one of many community-minded programs we are committed to at QCS. Choose a career that makes a difference, visit https://lnkd.in/gqNtpzK
