Get the App for This Year’s Kerbside Collection Day in Rocklea

Less than a month to go and the 2018 Kerbside Collection is coming around once again, this time for Rocklea, on the 5th of February.

Before you start taking out your things (and remember you can only leave your stuff by the kerb a week before the collection day!), why don’t you use the app to get you in the swing of things this year? Yes, there is an app.

The Brisbane Bin and Recycling app provides Brisbanites with important tips and information on recycling and waste disposal.

Instead of waiting around for the notice from the Brisbane City Council regarding the collection day, the app makes it so much easier for you.

It includes a bin collection calendar, which will allow you to set reminders so they don’t forget.

An alphabetical list of materials and how to discard or recycle them is also featured in the app. Information about the council’s waste facilities is also available.

Get the app here!

Now that you’ve got that sorted out, don’t forget the rules!

Evolve Cafe in Rocklea Is A Healthy Cafe Within an Organic Grocery Store

Evolve Cafe in Rocklea is located inside Market Organics superstore. Nestled in the back corner, the small tables and chairs can easily be overlooked by shelves or organic food. However, you don’t want to miss the chance to hang out here and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

It all started in 2014 in Teneriffe. Back then, Evolve was just a small juice bar. Having received great feedback, the juice bar quickly grew to selling food and then later on moved to a larger location in Teneriffe. In 2016, the cafe in Rocklea opened and this year, they opened their most recent Evolve venture in North Ipswich.

You can satisfy your hunger by eating healthy at the cafe. Get yourself a smashed avo with poached eggs with salsa or Paleo Breakfast with crisp sweet potato hash, garlic and tamarin mushrooms, avocado and poached eggs served on a bed of spinach.

They also offer lunch such as quinoa nori rolls, grilled chicken bagels and fresh salads such as creamy potato.

Of course, a healthy cafe wouldn’t be complete without acai bowls and bliss balls.
