Celebrating Community and Sustainability in Greater Dandenong
On Sunday, Greater Dandenong welcomed 100 new citizens in a celebration of unity, diversity, and community spirit. The Greater Dandenong Australia Day Awards and Citizenship Ceremony honoured individuals who dedicate their time and energy to making a positive impact—values that align closely with our mission at Rethink Recycling.
We were incredibly honoured to receive the Sustainability Award at this year’s ceremony, recognising our efforts in promoting responsible recycling, education, and the circular economy. This award is a testament to the hard work of our team and the incredible support of our community.
Mayor Jim Memeti praised the nominees and winners for their contributions, highlighting the importance of inclusivity and proactive community engagement. “They demonstrate everything that is good, inclusive and proactive about our community; as they have selflessly contributed to build a strong, happy and more resilient Greater Dandenong,” Cr Memeti said.
At Rethink Recycling, we believe that strong communities are built on shared responsibility—not just for each other but for the environment we all call home. As Greater Dandenong continues to grow, it’s inspiring to see so many individuals dedicated to creating a better future for everyone.
The Mayor also welcomed new Australian citizens, recognising the shared bond that unites all Australians—whether born here or newly arrived. “We value diversity and the harmony that exists here, in this place that welcomes all,” he said.
Dandenong is a vibrant and diverse city, and events like these remind us that sustainability isn’t just about recycling—it’s about ensuring a thriving, inclusive future for everyone. Winning the Sustainability Award reinforces our commitment to this vision, and we’re excited to keep pushing for a greener, more circular economy.
