23.01.2022 This week is Asbestos Awareness Week and with more people taking on DIY renovation projects, it's a timely reminder to be asbestos aware Asbestos lurks in more places than you’d think.

Asbestos materials are still commonly found in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens as well as behind tiles and under flooring especially lino. ...

21.01.2022 Here in the Highlands, we know our weeds Well done to everyone who identified picture B as the weed. The picture on the left is a native species called Winged Everlasting or . The other picture is an invasive species called Ox-eye Daisy or .... Once commonly grown in cottage gardens, ox-eye daisy poses a significant risk to both environmental and grazing land as it spreads rapidly and outcompetes both native and pasture species. The seed contaminates soil/mud and is then spread by animals, on footwear, vehicles, farm machinery and earthmoving equipment. We've had numerous reports of ox-eye daisy here in the Southern Highlands, particularly in the east. Think you've spotted it on your property? Contact our Biosecurity Officers on phone 4868 0888 for help with identification and to discuss control options. More info: https://weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/Weeds/OxeyeDaisy

14.01.2022 As well as being a love or hate job, gift wrapping is a huge contributor to waste at Christmas. Wrapping paper is often not recyclable due to plastic films on the paper. We recommend buying recycled paper or the classic brown paper and being creative with what's around you. Try wrapping presents in old newspaper, magazines or even fabric - a sustainable alternative that can be re-used again and again ... In this short video, our Waste Education Officer shares her top tips for eco-friendly gift wrapping More information: www.wsc.nsw.gov.au/waste-education
