Global Recycling Day
Global Recycling Day was first established in 2018 by the Global Recycling Foundation, a non-profit organisation that aims to promote the importance of recycling and support sustainable development. The day is recognized by the United Nations and is celebrated around the world.
The first Global Recycling Day was celebrated on 18 March 2018, and it has since become an annual event that brings together individuals, organisations, and governments to promote recycling and sustainable practices. The day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the impact of waste on the environment and encourage people to take action to protect the planet for future generations.
Here are some ways to get involved in Global Recycling Day:
- Learn about recycling: Take some time to learn about the recycling process, what can and cannot be recycled, and how recycling helps to reduce waste and conserve resources. We have more details for local recycling on our website.
- Take action: Start by making small changes in your daily routine, such as using reusable bags and water bottles, reducing food waste, and properly disposing of hazardous materials. You can also participate in local recycling programs and volunteer for community clean-up events.
- Spread the word: Use social media to share information about recycling and promote the importance of sustainable practices. Encourage your friends and family to get involved and make a difference.
- Attend local events: Check your local events calendar for Global Recycling Day activities and events, such as recycling drives, workshops, and community clean-up efforts. You can also organise your own event or activity to promote recycling in your community.
