CONTAIN YOUR
WASTE
November 2025
Contain Your Waste is a former KAB Week campaign that proved so successful we now challenge ourselves every year! Each November we challenge you to rethink your waste habits.
The goal is to rethink, reduce, and contain all the waste you produce to fit inside a container of your choice. Challenge yourself to use reusables, avoid single-use plastics, and get creative about minimising waste at home and on the go.
Think about each item you throw out—can you recycle, compost, or repurpose it? Every small effort makes a big difference, helping to keep waste out of landfill and reduce our environmental footprint.
