Your quick guide to recycling
- Look on the bank locator courtesy of recyclemore.co.uk for your nearest recycling facilities.
- Wash bottles and jars before taking them to recycle, or better still, re-use them as they are.
- Wash and squash your empty cans
- Never mix recyclable materials - always make sure the right materials go in the right recycling bank.
- Make recycling part of your routine - when you go to do your weekly shop, get rid of your empties.
- Look on the recycling bank for exactly what should go in it. Paper banks are for recycling paper, but not all types are the same, so check before you chuck!
- If you don’t have a garden where you can recycle your organic waste, find out if there’s a communal scheme you can be involved in (see ‘Tips for the Garden’).
Did you know?
- In just one hour, UK homes produce enough rubbish to fill the Albert Hall!

We keep three separate bins at home for used cans, bottles and paper, then drop them off at the local supermarket recycling banks when we ago shopping. It's really that easy!
I'm a great believer that if everyone did a little, then it would go a long way to help the big problem of rubbish.
