This community initiative makes it easy to dispose of difficult pest plants and gives you the tools to start your own native restoration at home. \nHow It Works\n\nClear Your Garden: Remove invasive pest plants such as Moth Plant (pods and small vines) and Rhamnus from your property.\nSafe Disposal: Bring your collected weeds to the designated disposal bins. These bins are specifically for invasive species that shouldn’t go in your standard green waste.\nThe Swap: For every load of pest plants you bring in\, you can take home a free native plant to help restore your garden’s ecosystem (while stocks last).\n\nEvent Details\n\nLocation: Lloyd Elsmore Park (Bells Road Entrance)\nGoal: To stop the spread of invasive seeds (like the billions of seeds produced by Moth Plants) and provide a “halo” of native habitat for local birds and insects.\n\nPro Tip: When removing Moth Plant\, ensure you wear gloves and long sleeves\, as the sap can be an irritant. For the best results\, try to pull small vines out by the roots! \nImportant Notes for Participants\n\nThis service is intended for residential pest plant disposal.\nPlease ensure you are only bringing recognised pest plants for the swap.\nCheck the PFHW News & Events page for specific weekend dates and times as they are announced throughout the 2026 season.
