Although National Recycling Week 2010 has come to an end, Water For Water knows that recycling is a vital part of everyday life. With this in mind we have some tips for you on what to do with your empty Water For Water bottles.

1. Look out for Recycling Bins
Shoppers at many Westfield shopping centres can now recycle with ease with the recently installed new public recycling bins across their shopping centres so be on the look at for these!

2. Take it home
Water For Water bottles are 100% recyclable!!
When you’re out and about and have a Water For Water bottle, take it home for recycling if there are no recycling options around you.
90% of Australian households have access to kerbside recycling and we recycle around 70% of the beverage containers we use at home. For more information on Kerbside recycling visit: http://recyclingnearyou.com.au/ 

3. Ask your boss
If you work in an office make sure you have a recycling scheme. Companies like AMCOR Recycling and Visy Recycling can assist you if you don't. 

Water For Water love to see good use of recycled plastic bottles.
