National Recycling Week – Councils & Communities

 Join the Cycle – 10th to 16th of November 2025

Councils and community groups have played a central role in the 25 years of Planet Ark's National Recycling Week. Use our free resources to help your community:

  • Recycle more and reduce waste and contamination
  • Make positive environmental changes at home, work, and in the community. 

Our tagline, "Join the Cycle", encourages all Australians to take action not just around recycling, but the wider waste hierarchy – working towards a circular economy alongside government and business.. We encourage local councils to use National Recycling Week to empower and educate their local community on recycling and waste issues specific to their area!
