The Junction - Zero Waste Hub

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Tradie Breakfast at The Junction last week.

It was great to see local tradies, businesses and organisations getting together over breakfast, sharing ideas and chatting about practical ways to reduce construction waste while saving time and money on site.

There were some great conversations in the room, plenty of useful insights shared, and a real willingness to explore new ways of doing things.

Thanks again to everyone who came along and helped make the morning such a success. We really appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon.
