Halve Your Household Waste

  • The Link Ginninderry 1 McClymont Way Strathnairn, ACT 2615 (map)

Learn how easy it is to reduce your household waste!

"One week = one shopping bag full of rubbish. There are two adults and three children in the house. Our challenge has been set. Impossible! I hear you say. Well here's how we did it".

That's Mia Swainson, environmental engineer and lifestyle writer for HerCanberra. Mia set her young and busy family a challenge to significantly reduce the amount of waste they send to landfill each week, and succeeded! Join Mia for an evening of all things waste where you'll walk away with simple and practical tips for reducing, reusing and recycling with your family. Mia will run through the basics of waste separation, worm farming, keeping chickens, plastic-free food storage ideas and more.
