🐾 A BIG THANK YOU TO CARTRIDGE WORLD DARWIN! 🖨️

After two years of very heavy use, our old printer finally gave up!

A huge thank you to Chay, Jacky and the team at Cartridge World Darwin for helping us find a new printer that best suits our needs, giving us a great price and including extra refill cartridges. 😊

We can now get back to printing our animal welfare advocacy letters, posters for our recycling bins and flyers about the Evies Bark Recycling Initiative.

It's amazing how much you rely on a printer until you don't have one! 🖨️

Did you know Cartridge World Darwin sells much more than just printers? They also offer ink and toner cartridges, office supplies, technology products, 3D printers and filament, computer accessories and even offer service and repair on printers!

🟪♻️ Cartridge World Darwin also has one of our purple recycling bins in store and is a community drop-off point!

💜🐾 Never "just a dog".

They are part of our family. They make us laugh, keep us company, comfort us when we are sad and somehow know when something isn't right.

They ask for so little, yet give us so much.

Anyone who has loved and lost a companion pet knows just how much they mean to us.

And this is why we will continue to advocate for our companions to be recognised as more than just property.

They are living, feeling beings who deserve our love, care and protection.

One small paw print at a time. 💜🐾

🐾🌏 PAWS FOR THE PLANET ♻️

107 MILLION CONTAINERS RECYCLED IN THE NT!

Some great recycling news for the Northern Territory!

The latest figures from the NT Container Deposit Scheme for 2025–26 show:

♻️ Over 107 million drink containers returned for recycling.

♻️ A 92% return rate.

♻️ More than 5,100 tonnes of materials recycled.

♻️ Over $10.7 million returned to Territorians through the 10¢ refunds.

That's a lot of bottles, cans and cartons being recycled instead of ending up in landfill or littering our environment.

And since 1 July, we can now recycle even more containers, including milk bottles and cartons up to 3 litres.

We hope that our little Evies Bark Recycling Initiative can help add even more containers to these numbers in the coming years.

Not only are we doing our bit for the environment, but we're also turning those 10¢ containers into much-needed funds for animal welfare.

100% of our recycling proceeds go towards animal welfare, with 50% going to HATS NT and 50% to Evies Bark.

It will be interesting to see next year's figures, especially with the new milk containers now included in the scheme. Hopefully we'll see even more containers being recycled across the NT! 💜🐾♻️

🐾 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT 🐾

Our next Business Spotlight is Helga's Pet Resort in Virginia.

Helga’s is a family-run pet resort that has been caring for companion pets in the rural area for more than 15 years.

And it’s not just dogs and cats! They also cater for birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, rats and reptiles with different accommodation options available depending on your companion pet. 🐾

They offer day and longer-term boarding, air-conditioned accommodation, exercise and play areas, medication and special diet requirements, bathing and brushing, extra playtime and pet transport.

Helga’s is also fully insured and a member of the Pet Industry Association of Australia (PIAA), whose boarding and doggy daycare standards are now an adopted Code of Practice under NT animal protection legislation.

Helga’s have been supportive of Evies Bark right from the beginning, well before we started our Recycling Initiative, and we have always appreciated them getting behind what we are trying to achieve for companion pets and animal welfare. 💜🐾

We love how the team have set up their own purple recycling bins, complete with paw prints and our Evies Bark recycling information.

They have also kindly offered to become an Evies Bark Community Recycling Drop-Off Point. ♻️💜

100% of the funds raised through our recycling goes back into animal welfare.

💜 50% HATS NT
🐾 50% Evie's Bark

Every container helps keep recycling out of landfill while raising much-needed funds for animal welfare.

A BIG thank you to Helga’s Pet Resort for your ongoing support of Evies Bark and for kindly giving our community another place to drop off their recycling. 💜🐾♻️

🐾♻️💜 WE HAVE PASSED 10,000!

Just 46 days after launching, our Evies Bark Recycling Initiative has now saved 11,168 containers from landfill and raised $1,116.80 for animal welfare!

💜 $558.40 for HATS NT
🐾 $558.40 for Evie's Bark

A huge thank you to everyone collecting at home, our workplaces and businesses participating in our recycling initiative, our community collection points and everyone dropping off their containers. 💜🐾♻️

And to those patiently waiting for a bin, thank you! We have sourced more bins and will be giving them an Evies Bark makeover this Saturday, ready to get them out.

When we launched on 13 September, we really had no idea what to expect. We just wanted to do something in our Evie’s honour that could create pawsitive change for animal welfare and help our environment at the same time. 💜

Next milestone... 15,000! Here we come! 🐾♻️
