Warrandyte Neighbourhood House and the Warrandyte Arts Association will be joining forces to launch National Recycling Week on Sunday 6 November 2022.

This fun community day has been funded by a Manningham Community Grant and will include:

• sustainability workshops and demonstrations
• an exhibition of artwork using recycled materials
• The Repair Café
• Warrandyte Potters
• musical entertainment and theatre
• food and drinks

National Recycling Week, established by Planet Ark in 1996, is held every year during the second week of November.

Excessive consumption is a key driver of environmental change. It points to the need for increased understanding of the environmental impact of everyday items and how we can alter our behaviour and choices. Making our households and communities sustainable will enable us to adapt to a carbon constrained world.
