We're nearing the end of National Recycling Week and thinking about how we're implementing recycling processes in our business.
For us, that means cutting down on paper usage where we can, reusing paper for draft copies and recycling all used paper once we're finished with it.
Do you have a commitment to cut down wastage this National Recycling Week?
A big shout out to all the firefighters and wildfire rescuers!A huge thank you goes out to the QLD Rural Fire crews who are working tirelessly to control bushfires in the region. Our immediate walks have been cancelled & we are very concerned about wildlife & habitat.
