Why separate your waste?
Separating your waste gives plastic, cardboard and cans a chance at another life, through recycling.
No Lonely bins!
Make sure bins are never on their own, always present all bins in a row to give the best chance of choosing the right bin.
Don't "wishcycle"
Remember lots of things cant be recycled. if you are unsure ask an adult or put the rubbish in general waste, putting the wrong things into recycling can impact on the ability for the right things to be recycled. Check the labels for the right way to segregate.
