New Years Eve at the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain is a Waste Wise Event
The Botanic Gardens Trust is committed to achieving best practice in environmental management. Help us lessen the impact of NYE celebrations on our environment by making your new year’s resolution to be a part of the solution to environmental sustainability rather than the problem.  We need your help to keep the recycling streams clean. Please use the correct bin when disposing of general waste or recycling. If you bring a picnic, please pack it in reusable containers and take them home with you. All packaging of food and drinks sold on Trust land for NYE is biodegradable or recyclable. We cannot recycle containers if the recycling bins have general waste in them. If contaminated, the recycling station will send the containers to landfill.. Help us protect our environment and contribute to a sustainable future.
