Recycling for 30 years

One Peninsula business that has been recycling clothes for over 30 years is Brouseabout.

It claims to be the first private business in Australia to take on this role.

In some cases, clothes can be reused as either second hand clothing or in other cases, for use as rags.

Approximately 70 per cent of the clothing Brouseabout collects is put on show in the store.

The remainder is used for rags in the automotive trade, by printers, cleaners, for furniture polishing and in kitchen manufacturing.

Clothes are collected in charity bins and Brouseabout pay a monthly donation to the Knights of the Central Coast and the Vietnam Veterans Association.

The business provides low cost clothing through three retail outlets and lower cost clothing from a factory outlet in Alma Ave, Woy Woy.

Another recycling business on the Peninsula is Bliss Demolitions in Rawson Rd, Woy Woy.

Bliss demolitions recycle building materials which include laundry and bathroom fittings, windows, doors, timber, frames, bricks, guttering and roofing.

Woy Woy Wreckers in Rawson Rd, Woy Woy, recycle car parts and also take scrap metal, old white goods, hot water tanks and other metal items for recycling.

The business also picks up old car and truck bodies for recycling.
