Due to demand, and the fact that Saturday’s conditions look very ordinary for boating, Shore Catch will open and be available to shred member’s frozen fish waste this Saturday morning.  This is a service that is becoming increasingly popular and is our way to minimise fish waste going to landfill whilst providing a service to site members.

We will operate from 8am till mid to late -morning.  It usually takes 10-20 minutes to shred up to 20kg and we will operate on a “first in” basis over the morning.  It would however be helpful if you let us know you are coming, and approximately what time, so we can plan for the day.

If you recall, shredding is generally governed by the set of rules outlined below but we are happy to discuss any specific requirements.  Please feel free to come along if you are interested.  Our address is 65 Buckingham Drive Wangara.

1. We will not accept monetary payment for providing the service, however we would expect that you would patronise our shop as a customer.
2. Available days are Monday and Tuesday mornings, but you would need to notify us that you are coming in at least 24 hours prior to attendance (some other times may be available subject to our workload).
3. The weight limit on raw material is approximately 20kg per time – this is generally one tub, (we process 20kg in 10-20 minutes).
4. The product is to be brought in frozen – we will not process thawed products. Raw material in an esky that can be then used for the shred is the best method.
5. All plastic is to be removed prior to arrival – it wastes our time removing plastic, and worse still is that shredded plastic should not be placed in the ocean.
6. We will not process undersized or protected fish – your load will be rejected and we reserve the right to notify Fishwatch (it is illegal to have them in your possession).
7. You are to certify that your load contains no metal (hooks) as there may be liability for repair of equipment if it does – if in doubt don’t bring it in.
8. You are to remain in attendance while your product is processed.
9. You are not permitted to enter our work area; however, you may watch from behind a barrier.
10. We will not receive and store raw material or product, and you are to take the product off-site as soon as it is produced.
11. We will not accept your shredded product in exchange for any benefit whatsoever.
