Engage your community this National Recycling Week and beyond!
Why it matters
National Recycling Week (NRW) - founded by Planet Ark - is an opportunity for councils to engage their communities in recycling and sustainability efforts. This initiative encourages local governments to educate residents and enhance waste management practices.
Did you know?:
50% of Australians say they that the lack of convenient recycling options is a barrier to recycling properly.
38% of Australians are unaware or confused of what materials can and cannot be recycled.
Only 9% of plastic waste gets recycled in Australia every year - while 2.5M tonnes is sent to landfill.
Let’s help our communities rethink waste! Celebrate NRW with our resources below.
Our council services
We help councils divert tonnes of valuable resources from landfill with our four convenient council services.
-
Our doorstep collection service simplifies recycling by reducing contamination and decreasing red bin usage at home. We engage residents through social media and community management, making recycling both fun and convenient.
-
We offer a solution for councils to fill gaps in recycling programs. Choose from a catalogue of over 100 items to enhance recycling at your CRC.
-
We collect from recycling stations in your libraries, town halls, or other community hubs. These hubs increase drop-off points, making recycling more accessible and closer to residents, reducing travel distance, and diverting more waste from landfills. We can also provide the recycling hub on lease!
-
Our Community Recycling Events unite residents, reduce landfill waste during cleanups, and offer a turnkey solution with managed logistics.
Let’s work together!
