Residents asked to ‘recycle one more thing’ to mark National Recycle Week

News from our partner, Veolia.

With National Recycle Week upon us once again this week (22 to 28 June 2015), residents across Shropshire  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”.

During the week Veolia will be giving away free cotton ‘recycle around the home’ bags to encourage residents to recycle more items at home.

Cat Slaytor, Communications Manager with Veolia, 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 bag at the following venues – and talk to a recycling champion who will be able to answer all their recycling queries.
