Global Recycling Day is an annual event that takes place on March 18th to raise awareness about the importance of recycling and encourage people to take action to reduce waste and protect the environment.

Here at The Mall Maidstone we have a recycling area for Batteries, Glass, Paper and Card, Plastic and General waste. Please feel free to use our recycling point whilst visiting us.

Global Recycling Day was created in 2018 to help recognise, and celebrate, the importance recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources and securing the future of our planet. It is a day for the world to come together and put the planet first.

The mission of Global Recycling Day, as set out by the Global Recycling Foundation, is twofold:

1. To tell world leaders that recycling is simply too important not to be a global issue, and that a common, joined up approach to recycling is urgently needed.

2. To ask people across the planet to think resource, not waste, when it comes to the goods around us – until this happens, we simply won’t award recycled goods the true value and repurpose they deserve.
