Recycling Week is back for it’s 21st year and this year’s theme is ‘Rescue Me’, which aims to get more people recycling the right things, more often.
Recycling helps our planet by saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Sometimes it can be confusing what you can and cannot recycle, therefore it’s always good to familiarise yourself with the recycle symbols.
Find out how to reuse, repair or recycle your household waste here.
It’s now easier than ever to recycle at home. Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Make sure you have the right bins and if you’re missing one, contact your local council.
- Check your local council’s website to familiarise yourself with what can and cannot be recycled, and make sure you’re putting your waste in the correct bins. You can also check the bin dates on their website.
- Make sure to store your recycling bins or boxes in a safe convenient place that does not obstruct access to your home or fire escapes.
- Make sure to recycle when you’re out an about too, as many bins will have a recycling section.
Fly-tipping is also a common problem for our residents, and we encourage you to report this as it is considered as anti-social behaviour. Please contact us at estatesservices@wandle.com so we can resolve the issue.
Taking the time to learn about what you can and cannot recycle means you are playing an important role in helping to look after our beautiful planet.
