National Recycling Week 2026

Planet Ark's National Recycling Week campaign promotes the importance of reducing reusing and recycling!

Whether it's hosting a swap party for friends setting up a new workplace recycling system or just upping your knowledge we've got plenty of ways for you to get involved.

Sunday 8th November 2026 - Sunday 15th November 2026

Since 1996, we've been helping Aussies recycle by sharing knowledge, education, events and inspiring stories. Over the past 29 odd years, the recycling rate in Australia has gone from 7% and just 1.5 million total tonnes recycled to over 60% and 43 million tonnes of materials recycled. Per person, that's recycling just 80kg of material yearly in 1996, to now about 1,700kg!

Join the Cycle in 2026 and keep reducing, reusing, repurposing, recycling and more at home and as part of your community.
