Boroondara Hard Rubbish Rehome


Boroondara Hard Rubbish Rehome

Jess WILSON (Kew) (09:49): I wish to draw attention to the excellent work of Boroondara Hard Rubbish Rehome. BHRR is a community-led local sustainability group that aims to support and promote a circular economy in Boroondara. BHRR held their inaugural spring market last month, and it was a brilliant way to showcase their leadership in community sustainability. Hundreds of locals or ‘rehomies’, as they are colloquially known in the BHRR family, attended the market, purchasing everything from repurposed and upcycled items to plants grown specifically for the market.

It was terrific to spend time on the sausage sizzle being run by the 1st Deepdene Scout group. Kris and the team’s gourmet offerings kept all the rehomies fuelled for the market. Congratulations to Jennie and Cath from BHRR for their leadership and community sustainability and for organising such a successful market.
