Recycling Week (October 21-27) is Aotearoa New Zealand's largest national annual campaign for education on recycling and waste minimisation.
Participation is FREE, and self-directed - we provide ideas, inspiration and information (including access to webinars, quizzes and prizes), but it's up to you to decide what to implement. The updated Educator's Playbook makes participation easy!
Running Recycling Week in your school is an effective and fun way to promote education on waste and recycling to students and staff.
Register for your school today!
Due to Easter, school holidays, ANZAC Day and the transfer to our new website, we are extending the closing date for our annual competition from May 15 to May 31st (midnight Aotearoa New Zealand time).
