Colgate community garden challenge
New and
The River School, Maleny, has recently joined other participating schools in the Terracyle Community Garden Challenge for a chance to win a community garden set. If you would like to support the school’s entry all you need to do is collect your oral hygiene waste items, then take them to the closest drop off point where they will be collected, packed and sent away to be recycled.

By joining the River School you are also helping to reduce your share of what goes into landfill. Items for collecting include any brand of toothbrushes, empty toothpaste tubes/caps and floss containers as well as their packaging, which can be dropped off at Maleny IGA, Landsborough IGA and Beerwah Woolworths. You may need to ask a friendly team member where to put your items. This promotion runs until the end of September, so you can work with The River School to reduce what goes into landfill. You can also show your support by jumping online and voting for The River School. You can vote once per day, per email address. To help The River School climb the ranks go to https://www.terracycle.com/en-AU/contests/colgategardenvoting.
War on Waste Glasshouse Country
Tip for July
Upcycling plastic items gives them a second life and delays them going to landfill. Melissa from Glass House has a great example. She turned a plastic notebook cover into plant labels. Share your upcycling ideas on our Facebook page.
If you would like to join our group come along to the next meeting on Wednesday, July 17 from 6–7.30pm at the CWA Hall in Simpson Street, Beerwah. Phone 0427 873 701 or Facebook War on Waste Glasshouse Country for more information.
