Don’t want it? Get rid of it

Light installations made from plastic bottles, Shoes for Planet Earth, trendy trash fashions and Big Aussie Swap parties will be happening over the next days as Australians celebrate National Recycling Week, 11-17 November 2013.

‘If you don’t want it, get rid of it’ is the idea behind the Big Aussie Swap parties, and if there is one happening in your neighbourhood, take your unwanted items along and swap them for tokens which can then be used to ‘buy’ some other treasure!

The week is also being used to highlight waste minimisation and local or national initiatives such as e-waste recycling and Mobile Muster. See your local council website or Planet Ark for more details.
