Soft Plastics Recycling Launch

Today I launched my soft plastics initiative!

After watching the ABC's War on Waste series and constantly seeking ways to bring benefit to the community, I decided to set up a soft plastics recycling depot outside my sister's place in Euroa (Cnr Beaton and Sutherland Sts).

This means that anyone wanting to recycle their plastic bags, chip wrappers, old 'green bags', and any other 'scrunchable' plastic can deposit them into the bins provided and I'll take them to Melbourne to be processed.

A big thankyou to Will Murray from the Euroa Gazette for stopping by to have a chat about it this afternoon. For more details on what can be recycled, see next week's Euroa Gazette and/or visit the REDcycle website.

This afternoon I attended a meeting with the Euroa And Surrounds Youth Mental Health Advocacy Group, an impressive group! I see a strong potential partnership between them and my own Connect Murray initiative once it's up and running.

Then, on the way home I picked up a copy of the Shepparton News to see they'd published another of my Letters to the editor. Click the image below to see the article I refer to.
