To celebrate the launch our brand new Waste Wise Kids website, we are calling on all kids out there to get involved in our Junkyard Challenge Competition!

The idea behind this Competition

This Competition highlights not only to children, but to parents too how much unnecessary packaging, plastics and other items such as clothes or household items that ultimately, if not reduced, re-used, repurposed or recycled, will end up in landfill. Check out our WWKids Club page to get some ideas of things that MiMi has made from waste found in the house.
