The Sustainable Development Department, in partnership with the Waste Management Section of the Ministry of Public Works, today [Sept 29] launched a new two-week Recycle Bermuda campaign.
The value and importance of recycling to the island will be promoted from September 29 through October 11, 2014.
A spokesperson said, “This Recycle Bermuda campaign is the brainchild of Sustainable Development volunteer and Bermuda College graduate Claudie Richardson. She, along with college student Alicia Kirby, spent time outside of their busy schedules to make this idea a reality.
“According to the 2010 census, 48 percent of all households indicated that they participate in Bermuda’s TAG recycling programme [tin, aluminium, and glass], yet only 20 percent of all TAG recyclables make it into Bermuda’s recycling stream.
This event will be held on October 9 [rain date October 10] in front of City Hall and at Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, Dr. E.F Gordon and Barr’s Bay parks during the lunch hours of 11.00am – 2.00pm.
