Hey lovely humans, I've decided to take a small social media break while I work up in Alice Springs for the next month or so!

I just want to say I've really appreciated what a kind and supportive community you've been. We've received so many encouraging comments and conversations on our recycling journey! 🫶🏼

Love you guys and can't wait to see you on the other side! I'll be back in SA and posting again come August 👀🏕️🏞️

Recently I attended the Circular Impact Accelerator 2026 Pitch Night - an event funded by Green Industries SA and delivered by Collab4Good - and listened to six founders pitch viable circular economy business models.

While there, I also met up with Linley, who works for the Adelaide Hills Council and who is a fellow Parkrunner and waste warrior. She was kind enough to answer a few questions for this edition of People Behind The Waste!

What do you like about being in this recycling space?

I enjoy working in the waste and recycling space because no two days are the same! I'm responding to innovations in resource recovery, packaging changes in different industries, and monitoring household behaviours, politics, and so much more.

I enjoy facilitating opportunities for people to learn more about the industry and to understand the benefits of keeping resources in use.

What do you wish people knew about their waste?

I wish more people would come on tours of facilities and see where their bin contents actually goes. When people see the scale of operations and the effort required to manage their 'waste', they better understand the complexity and costs of the industry and why contamination is problematic.

Is there hope for the future?

There is undoubtedly hope and there are many brilliant people and organisations actively working towards a more circular future. I'm keen to see what unfolds in the coming years and to continue to contribute through my own efforts.

Over the past few weeks G and I have been helping our client in preparation for moving house; clearing out her shed and going room by room helping her decide what to keep and what to let go of.

We love working as a team when the client wants to be involved in the process - and are happy to see her all packed and ready for the next part of her moving journey!

After the clearing and decluttering takes place, Chuck Green makes sure the items are sustainably and thoughtfully recycled or repurposed. For this job, we used around 15 different recycling/rehoming pathways, including:

💿 CDs & VHS tapes went to Plastic Panels Recycling
📚 Books went to the Book Shed in Stirling
🛋️ Furniture found new homes via the Buy Nothing Project on FB
🧸 Old toys were recycled via BigW (TerraCycle)
👟 Worn out shoes not suitable for op shop were recycled through .asga and

Our client is now in the very capable hands of 🫶🏼 and we look forward to sharing a cuppa in her new place soon ☕

This very cluttered shed has been a burden for this client for many years. Luckily, someone recently referred them to Chuck Green and they entrusted us to tackle the long overdue job.

Managing this job with level of care and respect was key in helping the client let go of all the extra things they had collected over the years. They had been prompted to make the decision after their house was sold, and this often comes with feelings of stress and grief; it’s hard saying goodbye to a place with so many memories, where you spent a life well lived.

In transitional times like this, having a third party there to help you with all the decision making can really help. We love to be a part of the process of making the transition as stress-free as possible - as always with dash of enthusiasm and kindness. 🫶

This past week we had a chance to see the waste trail bags in action! 📸 A local group of school students took our bags on a trip to Glenelg river and the Coorong. We were stoked to hear they were a success! 🛶

The bags held up nicely and made the waste seperation process at end of the camp super easy. Each student was given three bags, which allowed them to sort and store their own landfill, recycling and food waste over the course of the trip.

Schools often camp in national parks, which means what you bring in also needs to be carried back out with you. I love that our waste bags go an extra step, so that once you're back at base camp it's easy (and much more likely) for the waste to be sorted into the right place. ♻️🙌🏼

If you're interested in ordering some of our trail bags of your own, just drop us a comment below and we'll get in touch.

After getting back from my trip to Perth, I’m back at the with my Stich & Fix ladies today. Coming home from a trip always reminds me just how many amazing people I have to be grateful for.

The Stitch & Fix group provide so much to the community, not just in making things to sell, but also through supporting the centre by volunteering their time every week. 🫶

Throughout my journey with this business, I’ve found so many kind people that want to do right by the earth and their communities. It really gives me hope and warm fuzzy feelings to know I’m not alone and we are all doing our bit.

This job was a full day's effort for the Chuck Green team! Georga and I spent the day getting a very packed room of a client's home ready for sale.

We tackled the upstairs room, where stacks of family memorabilia and furniture had been sitting, gathering dust. The client really appreciated being part of the process - we made sure to check in with her before items were taken away, and explained the different places they may end up (charity's, auction, given away, in a museum, etc)!

She said that knowing it wasn't all ending up in a skip really gave her peace of mind. She loved that her family's belongings were treated with respect during the whole process, and were moving on to a new home. ❤️♻️

Happy Thursday! The other day while I was in the city, I popped into Orchard Bookshop to find homes for some books I had recently acquired. They specialise in hand-picked new and second hand books - if you send them a photo of any books you're looking to sell on, they will value them for you.

I love how aesthetic their shop was, it made me want to stay and browse for hours. Their philosophy of preserving history and passing on old books to new homes has a sort of whimsy and nostalgia to it.

The team were lovely and really passionate about what they do. We had a great chat and they told me not only do they buy and sell but books, but they also gratefully take donations of:

- books (obviously)
- cards/postcards (written on or blank)
- bookmarks
- photos 📸
- maps 🗺️
- pamphlets/brochures/manuals
- other paper ephemeral
- bags

Check them out online or at the beautiful Adelaide Arcade 📚😍
