Cork Recycling
The Green Living Centre is a drop-off point for corks as part of a national effort to divert cork from landfill. The cork is recycled in Australia and is made into place mats, coasters, floor tiles, gaskets, dart boards and hockey balls. Before you drop off your corks please remove any plastic corks, wire and pieces of metal.
Newtown Bagshare
Reduce the use of plastic bags! Donate your extra reusable shopping bags to the Newtown Bagshare by dropping them off at the Green Living Centre. At participating retailers, customers who forget to bring their own shopping bag can use a Bagshare Bag, which can be returned to the Green Living Centre or to the retailer where they borrowed the bag.
