Local Eco-Events & Community Celebrations
April features a range of local events, including commUNIty FEST and the North West EcoFest. These bring people together to learn, share ideas, and take action.
Supporting these events helps:

Reduce Waste During Easter Celebrations
Celebrations don’t need to create extra waste. With a few simple changes, Easter can be more sustainable.
- DIY or homemade alternatives to packaged goods
- Reusable baskets, containers or fabric wraps
- Choosing treats with minimal packaging or buying in bulk
- Reusing decorations and gift wrap
Compost Food Scraps at Home
Food scraps don’t belong in landfill. Composting turns organic waste into valuable nutrients for gardens and helps reduce emissions.
- Compost fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and garden waste
- Use finished compost to improve soil health
- Combine home composting with Burnie’s FOGO service where available
Composting supports natural cycles by returning nutrients to the soil.
Small Steps
Loving your environment starts with everyday actions — celebrating, composting, reusing, and caring for the places that make Burnie home.
