Resilient Russell Charitable Trust  RRCT(originally Russell Recyclers) started in 2014 as event waste management educators, and we are now well-known recycling ‘ambassadors’ for a number of events in the Far North.  We educate the public on how to correctly dispose of waste and reduce what ends up in landfill.

Our original Purpose was to promote, educate and facilitate the implementation of effective and sustainable waste diversion within the community thus helping to preserve our precious and unique environment for locals and visitors to appreciate and enjoy.

As well as events management RRCT is continually investigating other avenues to improve waste minimisation.

We believe improved waste management, motivated and implemented by the community, will contribute towards Russell’s resilience and ongoing sustainability.  By establishing the Trust, our aim is to have a significant and beneficial environmental impact and create employment and training opportunities that will help generate additional community wealth which remains local.  While, at the same time, keeping our town looking beautiful and ensuring our position as socially responsible kaitiaki (caretakers) of the environment for future generations.
