25th September – 1st October is Recycle Week as run by Recycle Now.
This year’s theme ‘Recycling – It’s Worth It’, aims to
demonstrate the benefits of recycling all kinds of items by
showing what can happen to the things after you've put them in the recycling!
If you've ever wondered what happens to your recycling then you can find out more here.
You can find a very helpful guide on what to do with unwanted items here. The tips include not only how to recycle items (in the UK) but how you can re-use them to extend their lives and tips on what sort of thigs are suitable to donate to second hand shops.
Meanwhile you can read here about how to reduce waste.
And here is a list of events happening round the UK.
Do you have any top tips on recycling? Feel free to share them in the comments section!
As ever, red text contains hyperlinks that take you to other pages where you can find more.
Thanks for the great tips and resources. I think it's so important to raise awareness of the things that can and should be recycled.

ReplyDeleteMaybe not recycling but creating compost out of food scraps is very useful and great for the garden.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Make it easy! Here, at big events, everyone ties to tape or stick examples of everything that can be recycled right on the cover of the bins. Ditto with compostables!
