Banish Recycling and Diversion Program (BRAD)
The Banish Recycling and Disposal Program (BRAD) is your solution for recycling hard-to-recycle household items like blister packs, toothpaste tubes, lotion bottles, and bread tags. Launched in November 2020, BRAD is dedicated to helping Australians reduce waste and improve recycling rates.
Guests are invited to bring along any ‘hard’ to recycle items to toss into the BRAD mega box, normally the drop-off point is in one location in Sydney, but if you attend Lottie’s event on the night, she will bring her BRAD mega box and take your trash away and turn into treasure, 2kg bag maximum weight per person. Approx 25,000 households around Australia are collecting all their hard recycle items to recycle through the BRAD program. Follow the link to see the full list of items you can bring along here – get collecting and do something good for the planet.
Visit the BRAD website to learn more about what you can recycle and bring along on the day.
