Community recycling forum coming to Hobart
Community Recycling Network Australia is bringing its annual forum to Hobart from 12–13 November. The forum is a gathering of community recyclers, waste industry professionals and local government representatives who are passionate about supporting the growth of community recycling in Australia.
The 2015 conference theme ‘Community Returns’ celebrates partnerships and collaborations between community recycling enterprises, communities, local governments and businesses. Forum sessions will include:
- The sharing economy
- Upcycling and refurbishing
- How to recycle a whole house
- Funding your social enterprise
- Getting great contracts
Attendees will hear inspirational stories of local social enterprises, with plenty of opportunities to network and meet new collaborators. Registration is open to all groups and individuals with an interest in community recycling.
