Calendar

Save a tree! Recycle your calendar, use a dry-erase, perpetual or electronic one.

Visit this website to see in which years your old calendars can be reused: 

• 2023 calendar days are the same as from these years (if you kept one): 1905 1911 1922 1933 1939 1950 1961 1967 1978 1989 1995 2006 2017!
• In the future your 2022 calendar can be reused in these years: 2033 2039 2050 2061 2067 2078 2089 2095.

Reduce the need for new calendars by making a perpetual one.

Take old calendars to the ReUse Academy at the Whanganui Environment Base for reuse in craft projects.

One local Mum says she uses old calendar pictures to cover her kids' school books. They love choosing the pictures.

Paper calendars can be recycled in the mixed paper cage at the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre.

Glossy paper can indicate some plastic content and does not biodegrade easily, so best to keep these out of landfill where possible.
