Residents asked to recycle “one more thing” to mark recycle week
National recycle week is upon us once again, residents across Shropshire & Telford are being encouraged to recycle “one more thing” to mark the occasion.
The annual week long national campaign is being supported by Shropshire Council, Telford & Wrekin Council and their contractors Veolia. The campaign aims to raise awareness of items that can be recycled and to encourage people to “recycle one more thing”.
Veolia will be giving away free cotton “recycle around the home” bags to encourage residents to recycle more items from around the home.
Speaking about the campaign, Cat Slaytor Communications Manager said: “We all love recycling but some items can easily be missed. Things like empty perfume bottles or deodorant cans, bathroom sprays or shampoo bottles that you’ve forgotten to put in with your other items. That’s why we are giving away these free cotton recycling bags. It’s a great way to collect all your upstairs recyclables in one place, ready to carry downstairs in time for collection day”.
During the week, residents can come and bag a free cotton “recycle around the home bag” at the following venues. You will also be able to talk to a recycling champion to answer all your queries.
