Councils have always played a central role in Planet Ark's National Recycling Week, providing much of the community-level recycling education and services. We have developed a range of resources to help councils promote National Recycling Week messages, events and activities to your residents. Feel free to adapt these resources for your community and to display them where ever they have a positive effect.

Activities & Events

The theme for National Recycling Week (12 -18 November 2018) is ‘From Waste War to Recycling Reboot’. It will explore the impact of China’s waste policies on Australia, the journey of your recycling. It will aim to restore confidence in recycling by celebrating Australia’s positive recycling stories as well as our achievements around product stewardship.

To help you organise your own council events we have developed the Council Activity Guide with ideas from councils around the country. Each activity listed includes information to help you propose, plan and run it, along with comments from the contributing council.
