Recycling AdviceVarious Recycable Items

The transformation that can take place when you recycle is quite amazing. For example:

  • In just seven days, your paper could come back as another newspaper
  • In just six weeks your metal can could be recycled and used as part of a fridge, a car, a plane.. or simply another metal can!
  • Your glass bottles could be recycled into house insulation
  • And plastic bottles could be made into a cosy fleece jacket!

The UK produces more than 434 million tonnes of waste every year. This rate of rubbish generation would fill the Albert Hall in less than two hours (source:Waste Online).  Most gets dumped in landfill sites - but a lot could be recycled.  And when the possibilities really are endless, why throw it all away?!
