Maidstone Community Centre

This month is Plastic Free July, a global movement helping millions reduce single-use plastics, and you can be part of it.

It's as easy as taking a pledge to swap out:
- plastic drink bottles for reusable drink bottles
- single-use coffee cups for reusable cups
- single-use shopping/produce bags for reusable bags
- packaged food for food sold in bulk (BYO container/bag)

Remember to sign up with your postcode to help track our community’s collective impact when registering for the Plastic Free July Challenge.

Council will also be hosting a range of free events and activities will take place across Maribyrnong, including workshops, pop-up roadshows, and a community celebration. Highlights include the popular ‘Flags to Bags’ and beeswax wrap-making sessions.
