Boomerang Bags turns clutter into opportunities for others, to tackle plastic pollution.

Getting to the festival
The Boroondara Village Festival is being held on the same day as the Glenferrie Festival, so public parking will be limited in the area. Glenferrie Road will also be closed between Barkers and Burwood roads during the festival.
To avoid traffic congestion, we recommend you either take public transport or take advantage of our free bike valet service.
Public transport

The bike valet service is located on Burwood Rd next to the Hawthorn Arts Centre. The service is available from 12 pm to 4 pm.
Recycling doesn’t always mean throwing stuff in the wheelie bin at the curb, we can recycle at home or in the office to extend the use of a product before placing it in the bin. Let’s not forget that our local government and authorities cannot recycle everything.
To help you declutter and responsibly dispose of your unwanted items we have created an A-Z of how to responsible recycle or donate your unwanted stuff. From recycling cars to hair, lets’ turn our clutter into opportunities for people in need.
A. Artificial Christmas Tress
Too often we don’t live our dreams, reasons vary from lack of time, money, energy or we are scared to step outside our comfort zone; and worry what others might think or say.
On my recent trip to Europe I fulfilled so many of my life’s visions, and in some instances, I stepped well and truly outside my comfort zone. The pleasure for me was removing doubt, fear and anxiety each and every time I conquered things, that in the past had stopped me from living my dreams.
Our clutter is not always physical stuff
We have a knack of building walls around us to keep out the scary stuff, holding in the self-doubt, self-loathing and sadly we are missing out of some the really good stuff.
While traveling through the UK, France and Switzerland it was a joy to witness so many people living their dreams. There was one in particular occasion that touch my heart, it was on the day I Continue reading

The waste we generate is no longer considered rubbish or trash to be throw into landfill; and rightly so. A great number of nations including the USA, UK and Australia cannot keep up with volume of their waste, so what do you do; we ship to places like China and 3rd world countries to deal with our problem.
China has recently informed the world
“By the end of 2017, imports of mixed paper, scrap plastics, including PVC, PET, polyethylene and polystyrene, basically a lot of packaging material, will be banned from entering China. Industry bodies have called the measure “devastating”. Source:-Raconteur
On a recent research trip to the UK I heard lots of talk around reduce, reuse and recycling. One major supermarket; Iceland is vowing to eliminate plastic on all own-branded products and Prime Minster Theresa May pledging to eliminate all avoidable plastic waste within 25 years as part of the government’s environmental strategy.
All positive but how can we make our waste a valuable commodity? Continue reading

Testimonial
“Great wardrobe declutter notes thank you – I feel I am on a roll. Even if I only manage 10 mins a day of overall declutter. Having turned all coat hangers to face the same way, I reacquainted myself with many items of clothing, which will hopefully get an outing in coming weeks/months” Pat ~ Box Hill

One way to stop clutter and disposable stuff entering our lives is to refuse it access. We have been sold this idea that everything needs to be convenient, to be on hand when ever we want STUFF.
Sadly; disposable and convenience has become a huge inconvenience to our environment, putting great stress on our water ways, soils not to mention our recycling systems.
Have we taken disposal and throw away to the extreme where we treat our planet as disposable, not worthy of respect?
I truly hope we have not, make 2018 the year of refusing disposable clutter
With holiday season only days away, does your STUFF does not need a holiday or you?
In 4 simple steps you will declutter your car and reduce your carbon footprint
In our western society most people aspire to own and drive a car. The freedom of the open road, adventure, holidays, excitement…it sounds great.
For most the reality is this comes only a few times a year.
