Higgins - Vote Climate One Higgins, Victoria

Lots of local stores have the B-Cycle bins for recycling batteries. Another fantastic option for keeping dangerous items out of landfill.

Do you chuck old batteries in the bin? There's now no excuse for you not to recycle them Australia's first national recycling scheme for household batteries launches today. It could create a major new industry — if the economics fall into place.

Two more local businesses keen to help reduce our landfill. Thanks to Priceline (Carnegie Central) and Hannki restaurant

It's so exciting to see how many cafes and restaurants and businesses in Koornang Road are excited to reduce waste! If your favourite place doesn't have a sign up yet let us know and we'll make sure we drop in to see them :-).
Great to have you onboard Goût de Saïgon, Ramen and Dumpling House, Eastern Dumpling House, French Creperie.

And then there were more!! Congratulations to The N**e Duck Cafe & Bar, ROMAPE' CIBO DA STRADA, Tailored Cafe, and Ok Mart Asian Grocer for joining the BYO campaign!
Carnegie, we are slowly greening our beautiful street!

It's so awesome walking along Koornang Rd and seeing all the green signs popping up.

These signs remind us to ditch the single use plastics whenever we can. They also point us to businesses keen to do the right thing and support 'green' initiatives, so let's all make sure we support them too!!

I'll mention each business in the attached photo descriptions 😃

We're making our way up and down Koornang Road and it's amazing how many of our cafes, restaurants and shops also want to reduce their waste and embrace the BYO cup / containers / bag culture. We're getting there!
Grouse Carnegie, Carnegie Fruit Market, Koornang Hot Bread, Carnegie Poultry, Fig Jam Cafe, Saul's Sandwiches are all on board!!

YAY for more local businesses getting on board with reducing single-use plastics!! Check out all the pretty green signs.

More to come in the coming weeks.

I'll mention each business in each pic's caption.

Just saw this at the Carnegie Woolies (Kokaribb Rd).

How exciting! Look at all these cafes, restaurants and businesses on Koornang road getting behind the BYO campaign.

Bring your own bags, keep cups and containers for take away, the delis and shops, and let's cut back on single use items, and reduce our waste!

If we haven't come to your business yet, never fear! We are headed your way.

For now, check out all these spunks and their brand new signs: Spilt Milk Cafe, Asian groceries, Kimchi Grandma Indonesia, Serenity, Russian Tidbits, Tom's meat market, Kaynam Uyghur Restaurant, Europa Carnegie, Sunny's Fruit & Vegies, Slave 2 the bean, Hecho En Mexico, Petaling Street Carnegie, Huff Bagelry, 'n cream
