AMP’s Marrickville goes green
Marrickville Metro unveiled its new one-stop-drop recycling wall during the National Recycling Week last week.
The AMP-managed centre has put up the wall to make it easier for Australians who want to recycle difficult items, such as beauty packaging, soft plastics, batteries, mobile phones and coffee capsules.
The new #MetroRecycleWall also includes an area that allows customers to borrow a reusable bag to do their shopping. Once done, they can return the bag to the recycling wall for other customers to use.
According to AMP Capital, the #MetroRecycleWall is part of the centre’s campaign to support the community to go greener.
