GET YOUR RECYCLABLES READY!
Waste Diversion Day (formerly known as Spring Clean) is about giving our community the option to responsibly recycle the sort of stuff that isn't included in kerbside collection. This year we are resolute in taking NOTHING to landfill.
In addition to recycling drop-off in the Valley Project carpark, there will also be a sausage sizzle (cash/eftpos), and our first ever Waste Diversion Day Carboot Market, on the grounds of the North East Valley Normal School.
CAR BOOT MARKET STALL REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN for our first ever Waste Diversion Day Car Boot Market. We'd love to have you join us. Car boots, table stalls and blanket sales all welcome. Register online

Volunteers also needed to help on the day: sign up online here
