Recycle Week 2014 kicks off today (June 16) with a number of events taking place up and down the UK aimed at encouraging people to cut waste and recycle more.
The 11th annual recycling awareness week runs until Sunday June 22 and will this year operate under the theme ‘Recycling at Home and Away’ to promote recycling in public spaces – a theme that it has focused on in past years.
Recycle Week is coordinated and funded by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), which provides information and promotional resources for councils and businesses to set up local events.
Recycle for Wales is supporting the 2014 event by trying to encourage people to make the most of any one of the 1,041 public recycling bins funded by the Welsh Government during the last 12 months.
Andrew Osborne from Recycle for Wales said: “Wales has many beautiful places to visit and a large number provide recycling bins for you to use. However, some places such as beaches may not have recycling bins so we recommend you take your recycling home to avoid creating rubbish in the places we love the most.”
He added: “Try to avoid creating unnecessary waste when you are outside by putting your picnic food in reusable, airtight plastic containers instead of wrapping it in aluminium foil or cling film that you will have to throw away, and use reusable plastic bottles for drinks.”
Various recycling drives are taking place in Nottinghamshire, Bradford, Viridor ,Oxfordshire and Portsmouth.
