Recycling and you - Camberwell

A young woman sorts plastic bottles for recycling in a kitchen environment

Event details

Ever picked up an item and had no idea which bin it belongs in?

Celebrate National Recycling Week with Rose McVicar from our Circular Economy Department for an hour that'll turn you into a certified recycling whiz.

Rose will unpack:

what 'recycling right' really means
why sorting your waste properly makes a real difference
how a few simple habit changes can help reduce landfill, support a circular economy and build a more sustainable future for Boroondara.

Got a tricky item?

Bring it along and get Rose's expert, on-the-spot opinion and advice on disposing of it the right way.

A gift that gives back

Every attendee gets to take home a produce bag, upcycled from old curtains by the volunteers at Threads of Kindness — a reusable swap for single-use plastic that keeps the good going long after the session is over.
