National Recycling Week

It's time to brush up on your recycling knowledge!

National Recycling Week was from 7 - 13 November, but recycling is part of our lives every day of the year.

You might be great at using your yellow recycling bin, but did you know there are lots more ways to recycle items from around your house?

From toothbrushes to fridges, many everyday items can be recycled once we're finished with them. And it's not that hard to do.

What do you know?

We asked you to show us what you know with our recycling competition from Monday 14 November to Friday 25 November.

Thanks to everyone who entered. We'll be in touch with the lucky winner soon.
