Magnetic Island
TOO GOOD TO WASTE!
Zero Waste Magnetic Island's aim is to reduce the island's waste by making it easy, appealing and fun to recycle, reduce and reuse - and we invite you to join us.

How?
We've got some great ideas and projects to get us to a sustainable and zero waste island. Everyone can make a difference, even if it's just one little step - it will be one in the right direction.
Snapshot
Here's a quick overview of what we do:
What are the 7Rs?
By rethinking and being mindful of our consumption and waste, and by working with the '7Rs' theory, we can become a zero waste island:
1. Refuse. 2. Reduce. 3. Recover. 4. Recycle. 5. Reuse. 6. Repair. 7. Regift.
'Little Things Matter' Video
Zero Waste Magnetic Island's video 'Little Things Matter' was launched on Tuesday 28 April 2020. Molly Black and the 2019 C & K Magnetic Island Early Childhood Centre students show us how easy it is to reduce waste and to recycle. Visit our YouTube channel to see the video.
