CELEBRATING NATIONAL RECYCLING WEEK Community Open Day and Dirty Dozen reminder We are celebrating National Recycling Week and the 15th anniversary of Northern Rivers Waste this month with a big Community Open Day on Saturday, 19 November. As you will notice to your left, we are also reminding residents about The Dirty Dozen: 12 Recycling Rules for Your Yellow Bin. Please stick these rules on your fridge until you learn them off by heart! Following the Dirty Dozen rules helps us to recycle everything we can possible, saving valuable resources, helping our environment and earning money to put back into sustainability initiatives.
Lismore is a leading council when it comes to recycling, waste innovation and sustainability, but we need everyone to make the effort and recycle right to truly be a recycling capital. But enough of that... back to the birthday celebrations! Northern Rivers Waste is Lismore City Council’s waste operations arm. It was launched 15 years ago to help Lismore get its act together in the waste management department and it has surpassed all expectations. Lismore has an incredible list of achievements under its belt including being Australia’s first council to make 100% certified organic compost from food and garden waste and the first NSW council to cap and regenerate landfill with native vegetation. At our Community Open Day you can learn all about our recycling history and enjoy bus tours of the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre, including the Materials Recovery Facility (our state-of-the-art recycling machine) and the newly opened organics processing pad. There are lots of other family friendly activities for all ages including: • Wheelie bin-lifting competition • Recycled Market and Old Wares Sale • Guided walks through the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Gardens and landfill rehabilitation areas • Recycled craft and composting activities for kids • Love Food Hate Waste cooking workshops
• North East Waste’s The Greenhouse (fun recycling games for kids) • Interactive water catchment model • Free face painting • Food and coffee • Recycled sculpture displays • Prizes and giveaways
Northern Rivers Waste’s 15th birthday Community Open Day is on Saturday, 19 November from 9am to 2pm at 313 Wyrallah Road, East Lismore. All activities are free and everyone is welcome. Please note: The facility will be closed to waste disposal from 9am to 2pm.
WE WANT YOUR IDEAS: HELP MAKE LISMORE GREAT!
Can you imagine the old Lismore Railway Station in South Lismore as a theatre? Artist studios down by the riverbank? Trapeze acts in the new Quadrangle? Night markets in the CBD? What are your good ideas? We want to hear them! Council is currently working with placemaking experts Village Well to create a plan for the CBD, the new Lismore Quadrangle and the riverbank between the two bridges. We want to hear your ideas, your experiences of Lismore, and what you value about your place. Village Well were instrumental in the activation of Melbourne’s Flinders Lane and Degraves Street in the early 90s and are experts at transforming spaces to create interesting experiences for visitors and locals.
Village Well would like everyone in Lismore to get involved! They are hosting three ‘Listening Posts’ during November where they will record people’s stories and memories as well as gather new ideas and creative ways to activate and populate Lismore. The information will help to develop three strategies: • A CBD Retail Strategy to boost growth in the city centre. This will include recommendations relating to retail mix, physical improvements, programming and events for the CBD, marketing and new projects. • The Quadrangle Creative Placemaking Strategy to activate the new public town square and Lismore Regional Gallery site. This will include recommendations on the management of public events and programming within the quadrangle. • A Bridge to Bridge Masterplan and Plan of Management to restore the riverbank between the two CBD bridges. There will be one plan for the CBD side and one plan for South Lismore with possibilities for future uses of the old Railway Station, Hurfords buildings and other unused areas along the bank. A shared vision will help set the direction for future uses and new attractions. The three Listening Posts are detailed below. • Thursday, 17 November at the Lismore Produce Markets in Magellan Street from 3.30-6.30pm. • Friday, 18 November at the South Lismore Railway Station from 9am to 12pm. • Saturday, 19 November next to the Lismore Transit Centre in the CBD from 9am to 12pm. Bring your ideas and your memories/stories of Lismore. Be part of making the city become more vibrant, diverse and interesting. Warning: You may be stopped by the Lollipop Ladies. They are joining us for a bit of fun, some hilarious crowd control and spontaneous roundabout antics!

Detours will be in place, with Magellan Street and Cathcart Street at Conway Street remaining open to traffic. Look for our electronic signboards for traffic control updates.
