Recycling

However he noticed that a good deal of what had fallen out was not actually recyclable through the bin. An example was, lots of small plastic packets from sweets or collectable cards, that should get collected up as soft plastic, to be taken to Countdown Supermarket. There were also some plastic inserts from packaging that did not have a recycle number 1,2,5 or 6, they should be in the rubbish bin. I think people are trying hard to do the right thing, but getting confused about what goes where. I found out recently that you can recycle tetra packs by washing and drying and collecting them up to go to the Junction (leave the lids on).
I have heard that Fitzroy in particular is not doing very well at getting the right recycling in the right place - I think we can do better if we help each other to know what is recyclable and where it should go.

Many high schools report that vaping is a growing issue despite the 18+ legal smoking age and this has been associated with the proximity of schools to vaping retailers.

Recent amendments have been made to The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Act to limit nicotine in products and cease supply to those born in/after 2009. Less retailers are to be approved and product packaging made less appealing.

Until March 15, public submissions will accepted regarding these changes, especially around the location and quantity of retail stores as well as the appeal and addictiveness of smoked tobacco products.
