National Recycling Week celebrates its 30th anniversary from 9-15 November 2026, making it the perfect opportunity to find new ways to reduce waste and keep valuable materials out of landfill.
This year, National Recycling Week is encouraging communities across Australia to ‘join the cycle’ and look beyond the yellow-lid bin and identify practical ways to reuse, repurpose and recycle items.
Every extra item recycled is a win for WA’s transition towards a circular economy – keeping useful products in circulation for as long as possible, reducing the demand for raw materials and preventing valuable materials being lost to landfill.
Visiting your local recycling and reuse centre is just one simple way you can do your bit this National Recycling Week.
Drop off your recyclable and reusable items at Tamala Park
The Recycling and Reuse area at Tamala Park is one of WA’s biggest community waste management facilities, and accepts thousands of recyclable or reusable items seven days a week, including:
- Hazardous waste (paint, batteries, chemicals and more)
- Household goods (suitable for reuse)
- Containers (bottles, jars, cans and 10c bag drop-off)
- Metal
- White polystyrene
- Cardboard
- Fridges, freezers and air conditioners (processing fee applies)
- Electronic waste (anything powered by a plug or by batteries)
