Households in Scotland are being urged to spare a second thought for rubbish as the countdown to the launch of Scotland’s first dedicated week to recycling gets underway.
Recycle Week, a Zero Waste Scotland initiative which aims to encourage people to recycle a little more, kicks off next Monday (20 June 2011).
The seven-day campaign is themed ‘Home and Away’ to emphasise the increasing number of opportunities to recycle in everyday life, including in the work place and when you’re ‘on-the-go’ in addition to those in the household.
Iain Gulland, Director of Zero Waste Scotland, said: “Many businesses, local authorities, and community groups are backing Recycle Week 2011, and some exciting events are being held across the country.
“More than anything, this is an opportunity to take a moment to think about the waste we produce in our daily lives and spot where you can take an extra, easy step to make a bigger difference. With the theme of the week being ‘Home or Away,’ we hope to emphasise the fact that waste creation isn’t limited to one area of life.
