Waste Not Hub

A hub is where it all comes together, a one stop shop under a roof. The Rethinking Waste Collective is working towards developing both an online resource and a monthly event to help you manage your materials and waste with up to date and local information. Both are called the Waste Not Hub.

The monthly event is a space to learn, share, swap and save. An the online waste not hub is a resource for you to connect to apps, initiatives, locations and businesses who are there to help us all on our journey, as we waste not want not.

Waste Not Hub (f2f)

Each second Saturday of the month, our local community gathers to explore ways we can reduce waste both individually and collectively. While some activities are held every month, we also offer special events like talks and workshops. Our current focus is on addressing specific waste streams that pose significant challenges: textiles, food, and polystyrene. Grant funding is being sought to launch a Moonee Valley Offers and Needs Market in 2026 as part of this monthly event.

On every month 10 – 12pm at Dwell, 78 St Leonards Ascot Vale

Monthly activities include clothes swap, mending circle, gardening circle (including food swap), material collection and MVS chat cafe.
