PCYC Parkes: Massive shout out to Bun­nings Forbes and Discount Dave’s Parkes. Our Halloween Disco was an absolute spectacular success — and it wouldn’t have been the same without their amaz­ing donations. Lollies thanks to the legends at Discount Dave’s.

NSW Government: Plastic bread tags, non-compostable fruit stickers, unrecycla­ble sushi takeaway containers and singleserve condiment bottles packages will be phased out. Safer, recyclable alternatives are coming. We’re also requiring takeaway food and beverage packaging items to be recyclable, redesigning takeaway contain­ers, regulating harmful chemicals in pack­aging, and banning helium balloon releas­es.
