If you still haven't picked up your free mulch, you'd better get in quick! Supplies are running low and are now available from the Portsmith waste transfer station only.
The average Australian produces 23kg of textile waste every year. Cairns ECOfiesta 2018 offers a fun solution, giving old clothes a new life.
Bring clothes you no longer wear to the free clothes-swap station on the day, where donated items can be redeemed for a new look.
Mayor Bob Manning said, “Swapping unwanted clothes can be great fun and gives these items a new purpose”. We agree and are happy to see the Mayor embrace some tropical footwear.
ECOfiesta will be held at the Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal on Sunday 3 June, 10am-7pm.
