Zero Waste Event Planning- March 2014

The Mangere Bridge WasteWise group is looking for opportunities to build on the success of our work at the Mangere Bridge School Car Boot Sale last year, where we assisted the school in significantly reducing the amount of waste going to landfill from their event. We are currently working with the Waterlea School Summer Festival planning team, to look at ways to ensure that the packaging used at this event is compostable or recyclable where possible.  We plan to supply recycle bin stations with rinsing facilities, which will be supervised by volunteers from our WasteWise group.  With our group’s growing expertise in this area, we are looking for more opportunities to assist with the planning and running of Zero Waste events in Mangere Bridge and are advertising this service through the local Mangere Bridge Village newsletter and noticeboard via the poster below.
