Recycling

Most of us want to recycle and help the environment but are often too busy to learn more and take the time to find out how. Here we have all the relevant links to all the information you need on just one page.


Why should I recycle?

More than 60% of common household waste can be recycled. By recycling you are reducing the amount of waste going to landfill and are helping the process of turning old products into new. This process of turning the old into the new can be cheaper and can use less energy. By recycling you can get that happy fluffy feeling knowing you have contributed to helping preserve natural resources and protect the environment. The positive effects outweigh the little effort it takes!
