It's never too early to learn the value of recycling as toddlers in the Lower Hutt suburb of Korokoro are  discovering. Korokoro Playcentre has been involved in The Collective Suckies Recycling Programme where they collect used yoghurt "suckies'' pouches, caps, tubes and containers. The programme is run by TerraCycle, a company which   rewards participants for each kilogram of waste they save from the tip. The programmes are funded by various brands, manufacturers and retailers. Many of the containers come to the playcentre as part of the children's lunches. Playcentre mum Katie Robinson  said  Korokoro had been involved with the programme since the end of last year and  had so far saved about 5 kilograms of yoghurt containers from the tip. It was an excellent effort considering the playcentre only had a roll of 30. Although the playcentre had only netted about $5 in rewards, Robinson said it was more about doing their bit for the environment. "It's about the amount of stuff not ending up in the dump." The programme also exposed the children to the recycling message which was important to the playcentre's ethos and Korokoro community. Any money raised would be put into the playcentre's other sustainability programmes such as its fruit and vegetable garden. The playcentre has also established recycling "drop-off" bins where the public could donate further yoghurt containers and oral care items such as toothbrushes which go towards their recycling total. TerraCycle is a United States based company which operates recycling programmes in 20 countries. It collects typically non-recyclable waste such as cigarette butts and coffee pods which are either recycled or upcycled into other products.

This term, Sacred Heart will take on an exciting new recycling initiative to help reduce waste and fundraise for charity! TerraCycle recycles the “nonrecyclable” and from Term Two, Sacred Heart will have two new TerraCycle bins on site, outside the Library. It is hoped that all proceeds raised will contribute to the total that is donated by the school after Sacred Heart Day.   The first BOX recycles oral care products such as old toothbrushes, floss containers, empty toothpaste tubes and caps, empty packaging from toothpaste and toothbrushes. For every kilogram of recycled packaging, we raise money to donate towards a charity. Our school also goes into a competition to win $1000 and a park bench made of…recycled oral care products! The second box recycles empty beauty care packaging and much like the oral care recycling, we earn money for every kilogram collected. Accepted waste includes:   Cosmetics packaging such as used lipstick and lip gloss, mascara, eye shadow, bronzer, foundation, eyeliner, eye shadow, lip liner, and concealer packaging. Hair care packaging such as used shampoo and conditioner bottles and caps, hair gel tubes and caps, hair spray and hair treatment packaging. Skin care packaging such as lip balm, face moisturiser, face and body wash soap dispensers and tubes, body and hand lotion dispensers and tubes and shaving foam packaging.   ALL THE PACKAGING NEEDS TO BE EMPTY AND WASHED OUT TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY. So…start collecting your oral care and beauty product waste over the holidays, and watch this space for more information!

We love our coffee in Lane Cove and you can bet your sweet latte, that many Lane Cove homes have a Nespresso Machine and that means Nespresso Pods.  The pods have become a bit controversial. The former head of Nespresso, Jean-Paul Gaillard is claiming that coffee pods are killing the environment. In an interview with the ABC Jean-Paul Gaillard said that certain pods are made from a combination of plastics and aluminum with organic matter inside, the coffee pods are not biodegradable.  It apparently takes between 150 to 500 years for aluminum and plastic capsules to breakdown in landfill. Nespresso has taken steps to promote recycling and there are now several ways you can recycle your Nespresso Pods so they do not end up as landfill.

Drop them off at Pureflowers Lane Cove Lane Cove is lucky enough to have a place where they can be recycled.  Pureflowers has a Lane Cove recycling program for Nespresso capsules. Pureflowers is participating in a nationwide environmental program to help recycle coffee capsules. Nespresso has joined with recycling and upcycling experts TerraCycle Australia to expand their recycling program at additional collection points around the country at florists, garden centres and nurseries. Lane Cove residents can now recycle their used Nespresso capsules at no cost by visiting Pure Flowers and dropping their capsules (sealed in any plastic bag which will also be recycled) into the in-store recycling collection box. “Pure Flowers has been delivering flowers in the Lane Cove area for 20 years. This program is an exciting initiative for our florist that’s good for the planet and makes recycling capsules accessible for locals. We’re happy to chat to customers that drop in and why not grab some fresh flowers on your way!” said Ludmila Fedorovitch, co-owner Pureflowers. The capsules will then be recycled at Nespresso’s recycling plant. Only Nespresso capsules made for in-home consumption are accepted as part of this program.  You can find out more about Nespresso’s recycling programme here. Drop them off at Nespresso Chatswood Chase. Simply collect and deposit your used capsules at the Chatswood Chase Nespresso Boutique.

Your Business is Our Business: Elegant Outdoors Mike and Susan migrated from London in 2002 in search of a new venture. Looking for a change in career and a fresh start, they stumbled across a business for sale on the corner of Rohini Street & the Pacific Highway, at Turramurra. With some much needed improvements and upgrades made in the early years, Elegant Outdoors started to take shape. Fast forward fourteen years and the successful garden centre affectionately known as “The Jewel in Turramurra’s Crown” is thriving in the hub of a supportive village community, where local residents have become loyal customers and in many cases, good friends. Mike and Susan have been banking with Turramurra Community Bank since 2004 (not long after the branch opened) and value the friendly service and likeminded community semblance provided to them. Offering a broad range of plants including flowering perennials, annuals, succulents, topiary, feature trees, indoor & hedging plants, Elegant Outdoors also sell a variety of decorative pots, water features, and garden art, along with all the gardening essentials like mulch and plant food. It’s not just the garden that this little gem caters for, with a gift and homewares shop located inside the centre aptly named “HOME with Elegant Outdoors.” Products change seasonally keeping things fresh and enticing for customers. Along with the large offering of plants and giftwares, Elegant Outdoors offer plastic plant pot recycling. Plastic pots can be dropped off at the garden centre, where they will then be taken to a recycling depot and eventually broken down and made into new pots! Every little bit helping reduce the input into landfill. Mike and Susan are proud of the industry awards they have won over the years, including; “Best Small Garden Centre in NSW & ACT” and “Best Small Garden Centre in Australia.” Susan attributes her successful business to having a great team working alongside her, upholding sound principles and ethics, offering exemplary customer service and maintaining a positive can-do attitude.
