Wash Against Waste: The Next Generation Project Begins
MASG is commencing a new project in 2017: Wash Against Waste The Next Generation, with a community consultation to kick it off on
Thursday 2nd March.
Thanks for the support of The Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation, MASG will be designing a new Wash Against Waste service and education kit; and building a new Wash Against Waste trailer/vehicle that can be used in the Mount Alexander Shire and in neighbouring communities.
MASG are keen to hear from individuals and community groups about their experiences with the trailer, and ideas about how the Wash Against Waste Trailer could be improved.
‘MASG will be gathering feedback from current and previous Wash Against Waste trailer user groups, and also compiling ideas from schools, local organisations and design experts to inform the best possible outcome for the new prototype,’ says Jay Smith, MASG Wash Against Waste Project Manager.
Event details:
Date: Thursday 2 March 2017.
Time: 7.00-8.30pm.
Venue: Ray Bradfield Room, Forest Street, Castlemaine (access via IGA car park).
