Henderson Waste Recovery Park tours are a great way to find out what happens to the waste we produce. Tours include:

  • Resource recovery
  • Understanding landfill
  • Transfer station
  • Waste gas to energy

School tours for years 4 to 12 can be arranged to suit you. Tours are free and we even fund travel to the park if your school is within the City of Cockburn!
