'Waste Wise' News Update

Recycling

A few items to catch up on!

Plastic bread tags can now be dropped at RedB4 Book Shop next to Hide's Bakery in Bridge Street. I'm waiting for a response from FOBL to see if we can collect ring pulls there too. I will set up a container at Senior Citizens for ring pulls.

Blister Packs - We are back to collecting the blister packs (combined plastic/foil) at the Senior Citizens.  We will be spending our funds from the Container Deposit Scheme to send them to Banish - $15 per shoe box. Needless to say we are pressing the same ones together and David drives over the odd ones to flatten them!

North East Wastewise Alliance

Our new venture with the North East Wastewise Alliance has taken off wonderfully. More items to recycle and more to reduce landfill. Everyone is very keen to use the group to lobby and stop unnecessary landfill. Quite exciting to see things grow.

​Here's the latest update of our List of Recycling Options...

    'Waste Wise Benalla'

    A  group which builds upon BSFG's concern about single use plastic waste reflected by the Plastic Wise action group.  Waste Wise Benalla goes further, drawing from a  broader conception of the Circular Economy.
