Mithra Cox from The Watershed and Jackie Cupples, Marrickville Council's Bagbuster Campaign
Do you have more green shopping bags than you need at home? Do you mean to use eco-friendly bags but forget to bring them while shopping?
Bagbusters is urgently calling for donations of unused green bags that can be used for Marrickville's first ever community BagShare. The program aims to reduce the use of plastic shopping bags in the Marrickville local government area
Donate your unused bags to:
The Watershed, 218 King Street, Newtown Tues – Sat 10am-4pm
Alfalfa House, 113 Enmore Rd (Cnr Phillip St) Enmore
All reusable bags are welcomed, including cotton, hemp, polypropylene ('green' bags), nylon and jute bags.
The bags will soon become available for loan at participating shops. That means if you forget your bag, you can borrow a BagShare bag and return it to where you borrowed it, The Watershed or Alfalfa House.
Bagbusters is a plastic bag waste joint reduction program implemented by the Resource Recovery Section of Marrickville Council and The Watershed, Newtown.
