Why should I recycle?
More than 60% of the waste produced by households can be recycled, by taking part in recycling you can help to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
The materials you recycle could be passed on to reprocessors so they can turn them in to new products. Using recycled materials to manufacture new items can be cheaper than using raw materials and could mean less energy used.
By recycling you will be helping to preserve natural resources and to protect the environment for you and for future generations.
