They want residents to remember to include those forgotton about items in your recycling collection from home - the ones that can be recycled but are often put in the waste bin.
Latest research from Recycle Now reveals that almost 9 out of 10 people now recycle. This is where Buckinghamshire Recycle are asking you to join the crusade to save five packaging heroes from being rubbished and keeping them out of the bin and living the circular life, through recycling.
To highlight the plight of the five ill-fated packaging heroes, Recycle Now has created a team of characters to bring the campaign to life and is asking everyone to Rescue Me – Recycle.
The condemned containers include Dee Dee the deodorant, Rey the plastic trigger spray, Yogi the yoghurt pot, Fitz the perfume bottle and humble Hube - the toilet roll tube. All of which can be recycled here in Buckinghamshire.
We can all help fight climate change by recycling because recycling in the UK currently saves 18 million tonnes of CO2 every year, which is the same as taking 12 million cars off the road.
Buckinghamshire is a County of recyclers – but there are some simple things that we can all do to make our recycling even better.
Top tips for recycling in Buckinghamshire:
- Recycle more of these items: Aerosols, plastic bottles from the bathroom and plastic trays
- Make sure these never go in the recycling bin: nappies, plastic bags & wrappers
And if you’re at all unsure about how to recycle a specific item, remember that the Waste Wizard (external site) can show you exactly what needs to go in the recycling bin where you live – just pop in your postcode!
