Rethink Waste at Camp Creative

January 2024 | Bellingen, NSW, Australia

OzGREEN teamed up with Camp Creative at Party in the Park in 2024. We organised two bin stations that were designed to educate people on where to put their rubbish. We engaged members of the local community to help run the stations with the aim of reducing the amount of waste that was sent to landfill.

The party and collaboration was a great success with 80% LESS waste going to landfill.

"I can't believe how much waste is in the compost and recycling, to think all that would've gone in the red bin."

"That all goes in the compost? Really? Even the plate and cutlery? If it's feeding the worms I'll go for seconds."

"You've inspired me to restart my old compost pile again, save me filling up my red bin at home."
