Question for Melbourne friends. Who remembers a recycle centre where libraries, schools, kinders could go and get "waste" for children's craft activities such as cardboard, fabric cutoffs etc. I think it was an annual membership subscription. 1990s or so. What was it called?

This! This is why your genealogy research is never done! You should never give up! There are records being found in attics, basements, closets and even on archives shelves that have been forgotten. Great story! theguardian.com/uk-news/2023… #genealogy #archives
