You bought It.....now sort it
Recycling is easy when you get in the habit. Instead of throwing away all your rubbish in the bin, simply sort the suitable materials into a recycling bag or box.
Visit the Recycle More website (see related links below) to find out what and where to recycle in your local area.
 |
Support recycling by buying products with the recycling logo and the 'buy recycled' logo |
This helps to maintain the recycling processes by buying goods made from the waste we recycle, closing the loop!.
