Join the Cycle

The dates for Planet Ark's National Recycling Week are Monday 11 toSunday 17 November 2024. National Recycling Week, a campaign launched by Planet Ark, provides an important opportunity for councils, workplaces, schools and individuals to improve their recycling knowledge, build better recycling habits and build trust in recycling.

This established and highly regarded annual campaign continues to educate and stimulate behaviour change, by:

  • Promoting kerbside, industrial and community recycling initiatives
  • Giving people the tools to minimise waste and manage material resources responsibly at home, work and school

Planet Ark's National Recycling Week asks all Australians to Join the Cycle. Over the last 15 years, Australians have made an effort to recycle, increasing the recycling rate by 57%! Join the Cycle as an individual or with your community to re-imagine and re-think your relationship with resources. We have information and guides to help you along the way, and for those wanting to get in on some action, check out our events page for happenings near you. Do you have skills you want to share? You can create an event to share with the world on this page as well!

To help you recycle right we have new information this year on:

  • Events you can get involved with.
  • How to recycle packaging correctly.
  • Workplace activities.
  • Curriculum aligned lesson plans and activities.
