National Recycling Week (13 to 19 November) is run by Planet Ark every year and is a great time to help us rethink what is and isn’t waste.
In 2022-23, over 60,000 tonnes of material were collected from kerbside bins in Boroondara. Out of this, 44,000 tonnes were diverted from landfill for recycling or repurposing.
Recycling is a simple way to help look after our environment, send less waste to landfill and keep material in circulation for longer.
