While we’re on the subject of saving! Finders Keepers is constantly working at ways to reduce waste at our events. We’ll be supplying a water refill station, so be sure to bring along your refillable water bottles, or purchase a keeper from one of our wonderful stallholders Memobottle or Earth bottles. Thanks to Closed Loop we’ll also be separating and sorting cardboard, recyclables and general waste in Sydney on site as part of our continued efforts to make Finders Keepers a sustainable event you feel proud to attend. See you next weekend Sydney!
