Brimbank City Council is holding a Resusable Goods Drop-Off Day to help support a more sustainable future.
Residents were asked to drop-off a range of unwanted household items for reuse at the event on Saturday 18 June, 9am-2pm opposite the Brimbank Operations Centre, on Stadium Drive in Keilor Park.
Items in good condition are being donated to local charities, West Welcome Wagon which supports asylum seekers and Australian Red Cross.
Mayor Cr Jasmine Nguyen said textile recycler BlockTexx will take recently washed linen such as sheets, towels and pillow cases that cannot be reused and turn it into new products.
“The Brimbank Reusable Goods Drop-Off Day is a great opportunity to support local charities and sustainability,” the Mayor said.
“I really encourage residents to look through their homes and bring along items they no longer need that are in good condition, and we’ll do the rest.”
This is a no-charge event where residents can drop off items in good condition for reuse including: televisions, computers, small household appliances (like rice cookers, toasters and kettles), furniture (small items that will fit into small apartments), bed frames (all sizes), bikes, homewares, clothing, shoes, homewares and bric-a-brac, backpacks, jewellery, towels and linen.
Only cars, small vans or cars with trailers were able to drop off items. No trucks or commercial quantities allowed.
