25.01.2022 Monday Memories@Cambridge Library How far we have come! Today we bring you memories of when Lake Monger was the home of all things rubbish. ... In the 1920s the quickest way to reclaim swampland for residential and road development was to fill the water with refuse - as shown in the first photograph. By the 1960s, the dumping of household rubbish had been forbidden however industrial waste was still allowed, as shown in photograph two. Today our Lake is much healthier, and if you're looking for a convenient way to dispose of rubbish, check out the Town's new Verge Valet service! https://www.cambridge.wa.gov.au//Waste-Recycli/Verge-Valet For a Pictorial Timeline of Lake Monger, check Cambridge Library's Flickr Albums! https://www.flickr.com//cambridge/albums/72157714111099156 #MondayMemories

25.01.2022 Let's talk BOTTLED WATER It's not great for the environment, or our pockets . "It can take up to 1L of oil and 3L of water to produce just 1L of bottled water."
