How to paint your bin for the WasteAid Australia InBINgenous Art Competition

  1. Grab your bin and give it a wash
  2. Grab some outdoor/oil based paints, sandpaper, paint brushes, mask and lacquer
  3. Make sure you sand and paint around your Council logo on your bin. NB. Most Councils are okay with your bin being painted as long as the Council logos are still able to be seen by the collection truck. Please check with your local council before painting your bin. If you’re unsure check with your local council.
  4. Grab some sandpaper and give your bin a quick sand so the paint will stick better
  5. You might want to cut out stencils to paint
  6. And or directly paint onto your bin with a brush
  7. Go over your work when finished with a spray or paint lacquer to protect your art
  8. Have fun!!

Your waste reduction pledge

The WasteAid Australia InBINgenous art competition encourages you to avoid, reduce and reuse waste. As part of your entry, you are asked to include a pledge, showing how you will avoid waste, reduce waste or reuse your waste in the coming month to make a positive impact on our environment.

Avoid

Avoiding waste simply means that we don’t create it in the first place. Choosing unpackaged products, shopping at wholefoods stores and making at home can help you to avoid waste altogether.

Reduce

Reducing your waste means choosing ways to lower the amount of waste you chuck out. Reducing waste can be as simple as selecting recycled-content packaging and buying only what you need.

Reuse

Reusing your waste means thinking of other uses for things that might otherwise be set for the bin. Reusing wrapping paper for other presents, framing cards as wall art and repairing items are great ways to reuse.
