Early years and waste education teams from Greater Shepparton City Council hosted a fun and informative session for kids to learn all about our bins and what they’re for.

Trash-nosaurus was held at the Shepparton Library and included a story time and sorting activity with the four bins so kids could learn where our plastics, cardboard and other waste goes.

Early years manager Sally Rose hosted the event, teaching kids all about the four bins that can only eat their favourite foods, which was a big hit with the kids.

News photographer Rachelle Zammit headed to the library to capture all the fun.
