This week, we've set ourselves the challenge of reducing the amount of waste we produce to one small bag of rubbish per week. The aim is to:
- Avoid the accumulation of waste;
- Recycle 95% of food waste through the chickens and worm farm;
- Recycle all hard plastic, paper, cardboard and aluminium by placing it in the household recycling bin provided by Gold Coast City Council;
- Recycle all soft plastic by placing it in the Coles supermarket recycling bins.
The Coles supermarket scheme is worth a special mention. They've got together with recycling company RED Group and manufacturer Replas to turn plastic bags and packaging into outdoor furniture for Australian pre-schools and primary schools. What a great idea!!!
