Smoothycycle

Yarra Valley ECOSS Smoothycycle was very kindly donated by the Yarra Ranges Council for community use.

This smoothie cycle is available to the community for hire.

If you are interested please read the below information and email: info@ecoss.org.au

Our fees to cover our administration cost are as follows:

  • $50 for Not for Profit organizations.
  • $150 for private or commercial endeavors.
  • $250 fully refundable bond – for the replacement of the expensive blender jug.
  • bio-cups available for 20c per cup.

We ask the the payment be made before the pick up of the Smoothycyle, and that the utmost of care be provided during transportation and use. Pick up on the Tuesday, Thursday or Friday before use.

The Smoothycycle will need to be transported in a van as it must not be dismantled.

Wash Against Waste

ECOSS has a Wash Against Waste kit that is available to the community to hire to help fight the serious over use of plastic and paper plates, bowls, cups and cutlery that are not disposed of properly and all end up in landfill.

Currently the kit consists of a hundred dessert bowls, plates, knives, forks and spoons.

We have recently been donated a trailer to house the kit and will be working on finding grants to upgrade and fit out the trailer.

Festivals and Events can hire the entire Kit and recover hire fees via charging food vendors (kit users) less than what they would pay for disposables.

Fees and Charges are in development process, so please contact Chelsea to work out your needs and come to an arrangement.

If you would like to hire our kit please contact Chelsea at our office on Tuesday or Thursday between 9am and 3pm by phone at 5967 2416 or by email at info@ecoss.org.au .
