Newtown Bagshare
Reduce the use of plastic bags! Donate your extra reusable shopping bags to the Newtown Bagshare by dropping them off at The Watershed. At participating retailers, customers who forget to bring their own shopping bag can use a Bagshare Bag, which can be returned to The Watershed or to the retailer where they borrowed the bag.
Look out for Bagshare bags at: Foodworks Enmore Rd and Alfalfa House Enmore Rd.
