Planet Ark's National Recycling Week is celebrating a quarter century of helping Australians recycle right from 7-13 November by asking Australians to celebrate recycling in a way that is meaningful to them. Whether that is by hosting or joining a recycling themed event, brushing up on your recycling knowledge or discovering new tricks to cut down on waste and improve recycling and reuse, it's all about celebrating the important role recycling plays in our lives.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Patrick Bourke said, recycling is important in our communities as it reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, prevents pollution and conserves natural resources and energy.
"Council provides recycling services via kerbside bin collection, Community Recycling Centres located in Corowa and Urana and as an active partner of the Halve Waste program," he said.
"Recycling has an important role in all our lives, and I encourage residents to celebrate Recycling Week."
Founded in 1996 as an opportunity for Australians to improve their recycling knowledge and build better recycling habits, National Recycling Week aims to help all Australians take waste and recycling issues into their own hands. This year the campaign will seek to positively highlight the advancements we have made over those 25 years of National Recycling Week and raise awareness of the continued importance of recycling amongst the Australian public.
Planet Ark has a new Resource Hub with lots of tools and tips for community groups to get involved in and many other fun and educational activities and online events available for residents.
