⚠️ Hazardous Waste on Farms ⚠️

Help us to understand the types and quantities of waste generated on farms! Responses from this 5 minute survey will help us better understand agricultural waste and resource flows across northern Tasmania.

Facilitated for NRM North by RMCG, responses will be kept confidential and will identify infrastructure and resourcing gaps, to inform improved waste management in regional areas.

👉 Take the survey today, and tell us - how can we support you?

It's fantastic to see the community supporting the Furneaux Collective Inc's recent Repair Fair on Flinders Island. That's a catchy tune too! 😉🎶

🌱 There's now more opportunities to recycle your agricultural waste, with the introduction of 21 bagMUSTER collection sites across Tasmania.

Each site is co-located with existing drumMUSTER sites, so landholders can recycle eligible drums and bags in the same visit. You can now recycle:

✔ Eligible and clean AgVet chemical containers (drumMUSTER)

✔ Eligible and empty woven polypropylene bags (bagMUSTER)

❗Please check opening hours before visiting, and make sure your bags are eligible, clean and empty.

The first repair fair on Flinders Island is less than 2 weeks away!

We're proud to support Furneaux Collective Inc, who were recipients of a Circular North Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Grant, supported by the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Recovery Board, which is funded by the Tasmanian Government.

We're excited to invite everyone to the first Pop Up Repair Fair on Flinders!

We have some incredible local fixers signed up to help our local community repair household items, share their wisdom and minimise things going to landfill. As we are all aware, what comes to the island, usually stays on the island.

Come for a look, a drink and a snag. Stay for the helpful tips, chats and get involved! No need to book, just rock up on the day with what you'd like fixed.

Huge thanks to Circular North and Flinders Council for your support. ♻️ 🙏
