National Recycling Week, a campaign launched by Planet Ark in 1996, provides an important opportunity for everyone to increase their recycling knowledge and understanding of the recycling process.
Your kerbside recycling bin
The kerbside recycling bin plays a key role in collecting and recycling glass products, paper and cardboard packaging, metal and aluminium containers and rigid plastic containers.
In the last financial year, our kerbside recycling service collected almost 26,000 tonnes of material for recycling.
Alternative recycling options
From running shoes to prescription glasses, explore alternative recycling and donating options for items that cannot be placed in your recycling bin.
Free recycling opportunities at the Resource Recovery Centres
The Resource Recovery Centres provide free drop off for a wide range of items including unused paint, electrical appliances and scrap metal products.
Visit the Drysdale or Geelong Resource Recovery Centres for more information.
