RECYCLE Week – which starts today – is the ideal time to think about ways to cut wastage, say Town Hall chiefs.
Two-thirds of the population now claim to be committed recyclers and locally 38 per cent of the total household waste in Warrington is now being recycled.
In the past five years over 30 million tonnes of CO2 in the UK has been saved – equivalent to taking a third of cars off the road for a year – so recycling really is making a difference.
Coun Alan Litton, the borough council’s executive member for environment said: “From recycling more of our everyday items like glass and plastic bottles, re-using carrier bags or trying out new things like home composting, there’s lots of things we can do to help cut back on the amount of waste we send to landfill and you might even save money in the process.”
Warrington Borough Council is holding two special events at ASDA Westbrook on Tuesday and Thursday next week from 10am to 4pm to raise awareness of recycling and help shoppers find out more about the different ways to waste less.
