Starting from Monday 10th November, Planet Ark is hosting National Recycling Week.   To start off the week a Swap Party is being held in Martin Place on Monday afternoon.

This is a great initiative to help educate people on the benefits of recycling as well as education on how to recycle properly.

The Swap Party will run from 12.30 to 1.30.  The idea is, you take along 3 easy-to-carry items (of a moderate quality) that you would like to swap for something else.  Items might include books, CDs, DVDs, clothes, bric-a-brac etc.  i.e. Don’t think about dragging your banged up washing machine or falling apart lawn mower down there

Simple exchange your items for tokens and then browse, choose, swap and enjoy.  If two people want the same item, the decision will be made by a sudden-death game of rock, paper, scissors. Yes, we are serious.

Recycling has never been so much fun!

Recycling Collections
Do your part for National Recycling Week by bringing in old mobile phones, printer cartridges, batteries and eye glasses for recycling at collection stations located near Martin Place station on the day.

This is a free event run by the City of Sydney and the Planet Ark Environmental Foundation.
