The City is collaborating with the West Metro Regional Council (WMRC) and Earthwise for a series of practical events this month to help you rethink your rubbish.
The workshops will provide residents with valuable insights and tips on waste reduction, recycling, and sustainable living, covering how to sort your waste, how to create a less wasteful kitchen, and simple steps to reduce your environmental footprint.
The City encourages all residents to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible to help limit the waste that ends up in landfill and contribute to a more circular economy.
