Aims & Objectives
The overall aim for National Recycling Week 2011 (NRW11) has been:
- To increase the environmental benefits, including greater tonnage and less contamination, of kerbside, industrial and community recycling programs.
The measurable objectives we will be using to achieve this aim are:
- To engage students in learning about the environmental benefits of recycling, through the Schools Recycle Right Challenge.
- To increase the number of businesses/workplaces involved in recycling, principally through the promotion of the Friday
File Fling.
- To promote community re-use and recycling initiatives, principally through the promotion of council, school and workplace-based Swap Parties. ( For more information see the Big Aussie Swap pages.)
- To improve understanding of kerbside recycling (Test your knowledge with the Recycle Right Quiz and learn more with the Recycling Info pages)
- To increase access to accurate recycling information through the RecyclingNearYou Website and Hotline, as well as the NRW website.
