As part of a new and ongoing recycling initiative, the City of Marion and our neighbouring council, City of Charles Sturt, have been donating their street sweeper brushes to Zoos South Australia to entertain the zoo’s most popular residents.
The 1m long, 70cm wide sweeper brushes have been shared with Zoos SA, where a trial of the new 'toys' is taking place at the goat enclosure inside the Variety Children's Zoo.
