We’ve been contracted by Wastebusters to assist them with their research into the barriers local people face when it comes to cutting down on waste. 

We’d love your help to share their survey through your newsletter or social media channels. 

Everyone who completes the survey can go into the draw to win one of three $150 dinner vouchers.

The survey closes at the end of May 2021.

Glenorchy – Ways to share stuff!

Books – Mrs Woolly’s General Store has a Book Exchange Cupboard outside the store. This is a great place to drop any books or magazines that you have read or to pick up a new read. Good turnover here so check regularly.

Food, Cleaning & Hygiene items – outside the Library / Medical building on Islay street. The Glenorchy Pantry is the place to put excess produce from your garden or extra items you buy at the supermarket. This Pantry is maintained by a small group of locals. Local businesses also contribute and our Nurse Debbie is an amazing, continuing source of supplies including cleaning products, fresh vegetables and bread.
