1 online vote = 1 point

*Recycling points will be divided by the number of students enrolled at the competing school. This is to ensure that all schools have a chance to win, no matter their size.
Your school can compete in terms 3, 4 or both with prizes awarded to the schools who have earned the most points at the end of each term:
Term 3
Competition period: 12 July 2021 - 24 September 2021
Term 4
Competition period: 4 October 2021 - 17 December 2021
Please note: we have extended the window for eligible shipments to 31 December to allow for Australia Post delays. Please send in your shipment ASAP to ensure it arrives on time and earns you points.

How it works
To sign your school up, you'll need to register with Eco Educate here.
By participating in this challenge you'll also get full access to Eco Educate's educational resources for a deep-dive into hard to recycle waste and the importance of recycling.
Once you've registered, expect to hear from us with some more information and resources - but in the meantime, you can get started by familiarising yourselves with the accepted waste below and setting up a collection box of your choice (a leftover cardboard box, plastic tub etc)
... or if you're one of the first 50 schools to enter you'll receive a GLAD® collection box to get collecting in style!
