In Patch 111, we rip the sticky tape off our cardboard packaging and chat all things recycling.

We begin by asking ourselves why we recycle. Is it for the environment? Or is it to avoid the scorn of others? We explore why Josh goes through his housemate's rubbish, the magic and mystery of where our rubbish goes and the history of our attitude towards recycling. We then shift gears and talk about buying and selling secondhand goods, product lifecycles, the necessary inclusions of an online ad and giving away products to people who care. Finally, Dion adds another exceptional story into the annals of Patchwork history that involves an ex-AFL player and a bar fridge.

We also play Sound Check (Soft Drinks).
