Events

Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities.

The City is running a range of free workshops throughout the month so you can learn more about what happens to your waste and find out how you can reduce you waste and live more sustainably.
