About Recycling Week
Recycling Week is an annual initiative to raise awareness and educate New Zealanders on best practices for waste minimisation and recycling. The campaign encourages conscious procurement and disposal of items, with the aim of creating a waste-free future for New Zealand.
Launched in 2013, an ever-increasing number of organisations (schools, corporates, and everything in between) are having fun and learning by taking part in the week.
This year, New Zealand's Recycling Week will take place on October 20 to 26, 2025.
