#Strawssuck they are in the top 10 most found litter items. Every straw used will far out live the individual who drank from it, whether it is littered in the environment or disposed of in landfill. Do your bit - #refusesingleuse. Paper alternatives are good but reusable straws are great! They come in all shapes and sizes and are made from materials such as bamboo, stainless steel, glass and silicone. Our favourite is the stainless steel strawspoon! Have you made the switch?

Do you know what day it is? It’s market day! Kiama Farmers' Market, with the support of Kiama Boomerang Bags and Kiama Municipal Council, are now plastic bag and polystyrene free! Here’s a sneak peek of how we are preparing for the market today. In our reusable market kit we have a shopping bag, produce bags, glass takeaway coffee cup and water bottle. How are you preparing for your next market visit? *Remember if you forget your reusable shopping bag you can now borrow & bring back a beautiful Boomerang Bag. 🙂

Did you know that approximately 7 billion cigarette butts are littered every year? Each cigarette contains up to 4,000 chemicals. The only place for a cigarette butt is in the bin.

Kiama Boomerang Bags, with the support of Kiama Municipal Council, have done an amazing job producing hundreds of reusable shopping bags from donated fabrics. It’s fantastic to see the ever popular Kiama Farmers' Market fully support this initiative. Don’t forget its market day today, so pop down and grab some fresh local produce. 🥐🍊🍎🍜🍯

Thank you Shoalhaven City Council for inviting us to your Environmental Expo. We had a great day talking all things environmental with our giant litter items.

Whether it is flushed down the toilet, poured down the sink or thrown out in the trash. Unwanted, unused or expired medication will find its way into the environment and poses a serious threat to our ecosystems. When clearing out your medicine cabinet collect all your unwanted or expired medication and return to your local pharmacy.

#WasteLessWednesday Every year Australians use an estimated 1 billion takeaway cups, 3.9 million plastic bags, 373 million plastic bottles of water and billions of straws. Make the swap today, and help make a difference! It's as easy as remembering your water bottle from home or using your reusable shopping bag.

Boomerang Bags works to reduce the use of plastic bags by engaging local communities in making reusable bags. By getting involved, you are participating in a national movement that celebrates a local grassroots initiative, community building and sustainability.
