Recycle Week starts today
Recycle Week is an annual event that celebrates recycling across the country.
The campaign is organised by Recycle Now. Their research shows that while we’re a nation of recyclers and nine out of ten people regularly recycle, nearly eight out of ten of us (79%) put one or more items into the bin that could have been recycled.
This year’s theme is ‘Rescue Me - Recycle’, focusing on saving those commonly missed recyclables from the general waste bin and making sure they end up in the recycling bin!
Arun District Council will be sharing posts on social media, so you can find out more about 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.
