Projects and programs that encourage waste reduction. Approaches include recycling, repair and repurposing – but also refusing to buy and use.
Connecting our shire community, sharing skills and reducing waste by keeping items out of landfill for longer. A regular event where people from Castlemaine (and surrounds) volunteer to repair items brought in by the community – including electrical, furniture, textiles, bicycle maintenance and more.
