Dear Dead Things<\/em><\/p>\n

I hate this endless cavalcade of waste and wanton disposal of worn-out things but I, too, feel tempted to dump my broken, unwanted items in the nearest laneway because I don\u2019t know what else to do.<\/em><\/p>\n

Is there any way to break this cycle of product life and death? How do we stop this madness?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yours sincerely<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear Concerned Citizen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Relax – there are many alternative avenues to simply dumping unwanted items in the laneway. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Check out some of the resources below for the disposal and recycling of your Dead Things…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bower Reuse and Repair Centre<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A great community resource for the collection, repair and reuse of household goods in order to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.<\/p>\n

Soft Landing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Have your old mattress recycled with most of the metal, foam and timber being reused for a range of other products, thereby helping to save thousands of tonnes of waste from going to landfill each year.<\/p>\n

Garage Sale Trail<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Offload your unwanted possessions and make some money at the same time. Register for Australia’s largest garage sale.<\/p>\n

Your local community<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not everybody is wandering the laneways looking for stuff to collect. Local community groups on Facebook and neighbourhood groups such as Nextdoor<\/a> are useful resources for sharing items you might no longer want – especially if you’re giving them away.<\/p>\n

Recycle and reuse<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s amazing what you can recycle these days – Planet Ark’s Recycling Near You<\/a> resource has lots of information on what and where you can get things recycled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
