Recycle Right WA

Today is World Environment Day 🌏

Being a GREAT Sort is not about doing everything perfectly. It is about doing what you can, when you can.

Bring a reusable cup. Use your FOGO bin. Plan your meals. Reuse before you replace.

Small everyday actions add up, and they all count.

Not sure where to start with food scraps? Try this:
• Backyard compost bin
• Worm farm for small spaces
• Bokashi indoors
• FOGO bin if you have one
• Share scraps with a neighbour

Small changes = less in your bin each week. Check out the linked article for more ideas!

Most households generate food scraps every single day… Vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, eggshells, leftover fruit – it adds up faster than most people

This is reuse at its best 💛

A new pop-up initiative in the Kimberley is turning donated clothing into something meaningful, helping others while keeping textiles out of landfill.

It is a great reminder that what we no longer need could make a real difference to someone else.
