Reduce, Recycle, Reuse Waste

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse Waste

Donate to The Bower

Donate your household goods to the bower, and they will resell them back to the community at low cost, or get them to people in need via their house to home program.

Bookings are avaiable bower.org.au/collections/

It can take unto 2 weeks before your items may be collected. If The Bower can’t accept your donation or you’re in a hurry, utilise their new REUSE Database, which has lots of local solutions for donating unwanted goods.

If you have issues with having you bins raided ensure your bins are kept on private property and emptied of eligible containers before being placed out for weekly collection.

Return & Earn

Bottles, cans and cartons make up a large proportion of the litter on our streets, beaches and green spaces. Tackling the problem costs NSW millions of dollars every year. Return and Earn is a way for us all to help solve the litter problem and be rewarded for our efforts.
