Recycle Street

Recycle Street aims to provide a viable alternative to landfill and promote positive recycling and waste disposal behaviours within the community.

The design concept uses the familiar urban language of a typical shopping strip with the various recycling options presented as individual ‘shops’.

The core idea behind the Recycle Street design is based on the conceptual notion of ‘Reverse Retail’ where goods are returned to the recycling ‘shops’ on a self serve basis.

Customers using the self-service Recycle Street can quickly identify where to place their recycled goods with each item clearly colour coded according to type of material such as cardboard, mixed recycling, car batteries, and hazardous chemicals.

Waste and recycling centres audit reports, brand identity, signage manual, signage design and construction drawings.Behind the user interface the operational logistics and spacial requirements were carefully considered. Recycle Street will ensure that space is effectively utilised and all recycling is done at the same point.
