FREE EARTH CARERS
COURSE: RETHINK YOUR WASTE
Are you interested in exploring ways to live with less waste?
This free course from Earth Carers will provide you with the
knowledge and skills to rethink your waste, all while meeting
like-minded people.
The course runs over five sessions, including three Thursday
evenings and two Saturday mornings, and course highlights
include tours of waste facilities and community gardens,
worm farming and composting, and zero-waste living.
GET SET TO PARTY ON When: 3, 5, 10, 12 and 17 May
SATURDAY 7 APRIL Where: Shenton Park Community Centre, Onslow Road,
Shenton Park
The annual Subiaco Street Party is scheduled for
Saturday 7 April so make sure you save the date! RSVP: Essential | To book, visit www.earthcarers.org.au or
call Western Metropolitan Regional Council on 9384 4003
The much-loved street party is a free, family-
friendly event and the perfect opportunity for us
to come together as a community in a fun,
relaxed environment.
This year, you can expect street party fixtures, such
as live music, roving entertainers, street food stands,
market stalls, a sideshow alley and pop-up bars.
Plus, there’ll be some new attractions added to
the line-up, ensuring Rokeby Road, Hay Street and
the surrounding laneways are buzzing from mid-
afternoon, right into the evening. More than 87 per cent of organic waste collected at
the City of Subiaco’s Christmas Night of Lights was

Street Party.
ORGANIC FOOD WASTE
COLLECTION TRIAL A WINNER
In November last year, thousands converged on Rokeby
Road for the Subiaco Christmas Night of Lights. What
you might not have been aware of was that Subiaco was
trialling organic food waste collection for the first time.
Thanks to the team at Earthwise, more than 87 per cent of
organic waste was diverted away from landfill and into rich
natural compost.
We’re looking forward to undertaking a similar operation
at the upcoming Subiaco Street Party so make sure you
look out for the organic waste bins. For more details about
composting, including how to set up your own backyard
system, visit www.earthwise.org.au

resources, such as energy and water, not to mention money.
By taking your own shopping bags to the supermarket,
avoiding disposable items and mending broken items,
instead of throwing them away, you can assist
in reducing your waste.
3. Reuse
By reusing items, we decrease the volume
of waste destined for landfill. Try to identify
long-term uses for products and consider
taking old books, magazines and toys to
hospitals or doctors’ rooms, holding a garage sale for
unwanted items and reusing containers, such as glass
jars, for storage.
4. Recycle
Products made from recycled materials use fewer natural
resources and less energy than those made with raw
materials. Try to purchase products with recycled content
and consider organic recycling at home with a compost bin
or worm farm. By recycling food scraps and garden waste,
we save valuable landfill space and reduce
methane gas emissions.
5. DispoSe
Disposal is the final option for waste
management, but the one that we currently
practice the most. This is an increasingly
serious environmental, social and economic
issue in Australia, and brings about increased greenhouse gas
emissions, incurs expensive set-up and management costs for
local councils, and uses up scarce urban spaces for landfill.

DO YOU KNOW WHO’S LIVING
NEXT DOOR?
Remember the days of calling in the kids at dinnertime, popping next
door for a cup of sugar or taking out the neighbours’ bins while they’re
on holiday? In this digital age, it is easy for us to become isolated, which
can adversely affect our mental and emotional health.
Being part of a community and feeling a sense of belonging are crucial to
our everyday happiness, which is why the City of Subiaco is celebrating
Neighbour Day on Sunday 25 March. You’re invited to attend a local
Neighbour Day event, hosted by member of the community.
