A new flea market will launch this Saturday, April 13 from 8am until 2pm at the Mullum Community College campus.

The Mullum Flea Market boasts over 70 stalls, and organisers say it’s a great way to encourage a more community-minded and greener Byron Shire. ‘The market ethos is recycling, reusing and reselling, and is a not-for-profit fundraiser for the college’, co-organiser, Subhi Awad, told The Echo.

‘Our big launch will include working with Sustainable Futures, Resilient Kids – Youth Week, and Salvage Culture. This is a great way for the community to connect with local artists, designers and organisations working to increase upcycling and reduce the need for landfill’.
