There's many things we can do to help the environment, such as recycling our unwanted items.
Re-home it
If you're looking to throw out any unwanted household items that are still on good condition, please consider donating them to many of our local not-for-profit organisations.
Check out the Reuse Tool from the Bower where they will find alternative organisations to re-home their items.
Choose used
Buying second hand goods is not only cheaper, but benefits the environment and your local community. Whether fashion, furniture, electronics or homewares, new things use up valuable resources to create, which are lost when they are disposed of. Buying second hand extends the life of products, preventing them from ending up in landfill when they could be used.
Second hand shopping is also a great way to find unique items, often much better made than their present day equivalents. Why not check out a garage sale, indulge in some online browsing (try Gumtree, eBay or Freecycle) or one of the great second hand stores in City of Parramatta?
For more information, please contact enviroed@cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au or go to The Bower Reuse and Repair Centre website.
