This week (17th -23rd October 2022) is Recycle Week- the annual celebration of recycling all across the nation. It is one week where retailers, brands, waste management companies, trade associations and governments come together to increase recycling awareness and encourage people to recycle more of the right things more often.

South Yorkshire is proud to support Recycle Week 2022

Does my recycling really make a difference? Yes it does!

This years Recycle Week theme is ‘Let’s get real’ and aims to reduce the amount of contamination we have in our recycling.

 

What can you do?

Putting the right things in the right bin at home is vital to keeping contamination out of our recycling. Too much contamination can lead to entire loads of recyclable materials being rejected for processing.

Check on your local council’s website to see what is accepted in your recycling bins.
