With the children on holidays from school and a long weekend on the horizon, this can only mean one thing – more waste! Why not encourage your children to learn about recycling, and who knows they might enjoy it!

Follow these handy tips that will tell you all you need to know…

Recycling Tip One – Easy Access to Bins

Try to have two to three bins in your kitchen. Depending on your area you may or may not have a food compost bin.

Many electronic appliances and/or their components contain substances which are considered dangerous to the environment and human health if they are disposed of inappropriately.

This blog post outlines a number of possible ways in which you can ensure your old electrical items are disposed of responsibly.
