In 2020 there was a 52% reduction in the volume of eligible container litter in NSW, and over 300,000 tonnes of materials recycled. You can recycle your eligible containers to one of over 600 return points across NSW and donate 10 cents per container to Guide Dogs NSW! To donate: 1. Collect eligible drink containers. Look for the 10-cent mark to confirm eligibility. 2. Find your nearest refund point by heading to https://lnkd.in/gu4pa3nq and typing in your postcode. 3.

I just have to share this as it makes me SO HAPPY! I use a charity called 'A Good Thing' (link in comments) who link up companies like myself or anyone else who has product, to charities that can use unwanted items. It's genius. I have about 250 pens branded Firefly Merchandise which I've had sitting round for a long time so I figured this would be a great donation. I uploaded on Friday and this morning, I've received this: "Hi there, Please could we have 50 pens? We're a small charity in Reading that provides horticultural therapy (using gardening to improve mental health and wellbeing) to people with mental health issues, learning difficulties and physical disabilities. We're committed to sustainaibility at our garden, e.g. turning our garden waste into lots of lovely compost, not using chemicals. Our client gardeners would make use of your pens when working on their journals, where they keep a record of their achievements at the garden, our school groups in the amazing garden-themed arts and crafts they produce, and we'd use them for admin. And we'd collect them from you by bike! Thanks, Siân" I highly recommend using this charity if you have old stock which might be merch or even old office furniture. It's a great way to help someone local and get your products recycled. #charitydonation #recycling #supportlocal #donation #QueenOfMerch #globalrecylcingday

Ready for guests? If you are expecting family or friends to stay during the festive season take a few minutes to check your towels and bed linen. It’s easy to keep extra of both “just in case”, but how many people usually live in your house, how many bedrooms do you have? How many guests are you expecting? Check the items you have now and consider letting some go of any you don’t ever use or are looking a bit tired. Really consider what you need then you can decide on the best storage solution, in a cupboard or drawer, under the bed… Consider donating to animal shelters, bedding and towels are gratefully received. There’s still time before Christmas to really make a difference. Get in touch if you need extra help. #professionalorganiser #declutter #storage

Happy Boxing Day! 🥳 We hope you had a fantastic Christmas filled with joy, laughter, and, of course, fabulous gifts! Now that the festivities are winding down, it's time to tackle the aftermath. Here are some tips on handling the excess rubbish from presents and celebrations. Let's keep our communities clean and green! - Dispose Responsibly: Flatten those cardboard boxes and break down packaging materials. - Bin It Right: Make sure your waste is sorted correctly. Separate recyclables from general waste to make the disposal process smoother and more environmentally friendly. - Community Cleanup: Coordinate with your neighbours for a post-Christmas cleanup. A united effort makes the task more enjoyable and helps build a stronger sense of community. - Christmas Tree Recycling: If you had a real Christmas tree, check for a local tree recycling program. Many places turn them into mulch or compost. - Donate Unwanted Items: If you received gifts you don't need, consider donating them to charity. 'Tis the season of giving, after all! - Check Local Pickup Services: Some areas offer special pickups for bulky items. Check with your local council or waste management service for details on when and how to arrange this service. Wishing you all a fantastic Boxing Day and a wonderful year ahead! #BoxingDay #HappyHolidays

When decluttering and getting organized, we all feel good when we donate things we no longer like, need, or use. It can be easy, however, to use "donation" as a crutch or an excuse not to toss something that *should* be tossed. I am talking about items that are too worn, tattered, broken, and unusable. Here is what I know for sure: you are not a bad person, or not environmentally conscious if you toss something that fits a category above. Let things go. Lighten your life. And the next time you purchase or bring something in, be more discerning so you can reduce waste and not end up in the same situation again. 💡

Everyone has a different tolerance for kitchen clutter. Whether you easily declutter or struggle to let go, chances are you have too many of these items: 🔘 Cookbooks you never read: Donate them or organize a cookbook swap with friends. 🔘 Old dish cloths: Retire them to the "rag" section, toss them, or donate to an animal shelter. 🔘 Food containers: Recycle mismatched pieces and repurpose stained ones for storage. 🔘 Takeout menus: Everything is online. Use them for messy projects and then toss them. 🔘 Tote bags: Stop accumulating them. Use them around the house or donate to shelters and food banks. Ready to declutter and organize your home?
