Congratulations Bridgewater.
Bridgewater represented Tasmania in the National KAB Tidy Towns/Sustainable Communities Awards.

The National Tidy Town’s 'Waste Prevention & Reduction' category is awarded to a project that focuses on minimising what goes into landfill and assists in creating a circular economy. 🔄

The winner of this category for the 2024 National Tidy Towns Awards is BRIDGEWATER, TASMANIA for their Bin to Win initiative!

♻️ Centacare Evolve Housing's collaboration with Brighton Council for the annual Bin to Win event underscores their shared commitment to waste education and accessibility. This innovative initiative goes beyond traditional waste management efforts by offering interactive educational experiences for the community. 🏘️

By emphasising the importance of reducing waste and diverting it from landfills, the event encourages participants to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. 🌱

The impact of Bin to Win is tangible, with the community removing over 80 carloads of waste, including 200+ tires, 50+ white goods, and 40+ mattresses. 🚛

This significant achievement not only contributes to a cleaner environment but also demonstrates the power of collective action in addressing waste management challenges. ♻️
