Why recycle...

Recycling is good.
Recycling stops our unwanted belongings going to landfill, saves energy thereby reducing greenhouse gasses, saves resources, doesn't cost us anything and can even earn us money.

Recycling conserves resources.
By conserving production materials and reusing waste not being sent to landfill the UK saves the equivalent in greenhouse gas emissions of taking 3.5 million cars off our roads.

Recycling is increasing.
Recycling is taken seriously by the public. Since 2007 the amount of household waste that is recycled in England has almost increased from 7% to 37.5%.

Recycling is not just a nice idea.
Recycling is important, not just as part of the commitment to sustainable production and consumption, but for the environment and is a vital part in the battle against dangerous climate change.

Recycling is easy.
Recycling is accessible and convenient right across the country via wheelie bins, household collections, drop off points and even charity shops.
