"A privately run recycling facility in Western Australia's Midwest has been
forced to close due to increasing lease costs.
Geraldton, about 400 kilometres north of Perth, does not have kerbside
recycling.
Seven years ago, Mike Barker became fed up with the situation and decided to do
something about the amount of waste going to landfill, creating Geraldton &
Midwest E-waste, an organisation dedicated to repurposing waste.
With minimal options for recycling in the city of 40,000 people, Mr Barker's
business was immediately overwhelmed.
But a forced closure due to a lack of profit has put the town back to square
one on recycling. "
