Reduce and Recycle Hub returns in July

The Acton Market Reduce and Recycle hub monthly returns on Saturday 8th July. Once again bringing the Mount alive in Acton with lots of great organisations and businesses coming along on to help people in Acton to #reduce, #reuse and #recycle.

The event coincides with the Acton Carnival which leaves Crown Street at 10.30am . We will have a FREE facepainter on the mount between 10am and 11am to get you carnival ready.
