Merici College Green Tip #21 - Leaf Solution

Sustainability at Merici

Deciduous leaves are a beautiful part of autumn in Canberra.

However, they also get into the waterways and result in algal blooms that lead to slime, foul smelling water and no-swim orders.

The Leaf Collective is on a mission to solve this problem by turning Canberra's into a resource.

To be part of the solutions you can:

  • Use your green bin.
  • Compost.
  • Store the leaves.
  • Drop off at a leaf donation point.
  • Adopt a drain.
  • Track your leaves on the app.
