It’s National Recycling Week!
It’s here! We’ve been so excited about National Recycling Week all year. Planet Ark established the campaign in 1996, with the purpose of this week being to “empower people to do the right thing at the bin.”
This year's theme is “waste isn’t waste until it’s wasted.” It’s all about rethinking what we view as “waste.” Honestly, we don’t even really like using the word! We think that everything should be seen as a valuable resource - not something just to be thrown away.
We have a National Recycling Week activity booklet for kids available for free. With things like recycling bingo, ‘who am I?’ and build your own recycle hero.
This year has been a massive year for RecycleSmart. We’d love to thank our drivers, our councils and our residents for coming together to make sure those valuable resources aren’t being wasted. Together, we have diverted 325,000kgs from landfill.
We will be posting some videos on social media about cool things that are happening in the recycling space around the world. Check them out on our Instagram, Facebook or Tiktok.
