National Recycling Week, 13 - 19 November, is reminding Australians this year that What Goes Around Comes Around. Our resources are FREE to use and designed to help you learn how to recycle right, reduce waste and contamination, and engage with positive sustainable actions at home, work, and in your community.
Councils, schools and community groups can add their logos to our assets for free. If you're a business, please contact us for permission to use your logo on these assets or to use the National Recycling Week logo on your own.

Please feel free to contact us with resource suggestions.

BehaviourWorks Australia ran a series of trials with local councils and support from Planet Ark to explore what behaviour change messaging can successfully help Australians improve their recycling practices. It was the largest program of coordinated waste behaviour change trials ever in Australia. For more information on the program read the Summary Report or go to BehaviourWorks Australia's Kerbside Contamination Research page.
It would be appreciated if you could email recycling@planetark.org to confirm use of these resources and help Planet Ark to keep a record of usage.
