Community Recycling Initiatives
Services that recycle unwanted goods extend beyond Council kerbside recycling systems. There are many ways to get communities involved in recycling initiatives, with benefits to local morale, economies and the environment.
Below is a list of community recycling initiatives you could start in your area:
Start your own reuse centre with the guidance of Community Recycling Ventures. Reduce waste to landfill and provide sustainable employment and training to local residents.
Join the many towns across Australia becoming Plastic Bag Free. Boost your town's environmental profile and green initiatives by taking part.
Set up an Aluminium Can recycling facility to raise money for your local school, charity or community program.
Start a Community Garden to turn food and garden waste into valuable compost. Provide a space for learning how to grow your own fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Make your next community event or festival a 'zero waste' project. Worm farms, biodegradable packaging, composting toilets and green power sources can make your event more environmentally sustainable. Zero Waste Events in SA | Waste Wise Events in NSW
