🗑️ Is your bin lid losing the battle with the wind?

I have just signed up to take part in the City of Wanneroo’s Bin Spring Trial and I am looking forward to seeing if this gadget can keep my bin lid securely shut!

The bin springs are designed to stop rubbish escaping on windy days and help keep birds and wildlife out. 🐦

🌿 Suitable for red or yellow-lid bins
♻️ Made from recyclable stainless steel
💪 10-year warranty
🎟️ Only 200 are available for the trial!

If, like me, you have ever chased rubbisho down the street after a windy day, this could be worth giving a go! 💨

Councils have voted to redirect red-bin waste to Kwinana’s new waste-to-energy facility, where it will be incinerated instead of sent to landfill.

However, residents surrounding Tamala Park landfill are angry that more isn't being done about the leachate ('bin juice') and gas emissions.

A lovely afternoon at the No Limits Perth High Tea yesterday. ☕

It was so lovely to share a table with the Northern Yarnies - Knitting, Crochet, Craft. Thank you for the warm welcome and for inviting me to your club. I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

I hope the afternoon was a huge success and raised lots of money for such a wonderful cause. 🌸
