Causeway Coast and Glens joins the Big Recycle Hunt

Mon, October 16, 2023

Recycle Week is calling on everyone in the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council to take the lead in protecting our planet.

Now in its twentieth year, Recycle Week is the nation’s biggest annual celebration of recycling.

"The Big Recycling Hunt", the central theme of this year's campaign, promises to shine a bright spotlight on "missed capture." This nationwide hunt aims to engage everyone to  find 'lost recyclables' that too often find their way into the rubbish bin. By focusing on commonly missed items such as empty aerosols, plastic cleaning product bottles, plastic toiletry bottles, plastic pots and tubs, and food tins, Recycle Now wants to foster a deeper understanding of recycling in the younger generation.

#RecycleWeek and #BigRecyclingHunt!

Make sure you recycle these items in your blue recycling bin at home.

Recycling doesn’t have to be confusing. To find out what can be recycled in your area, use Recycle Now’s Recycling Locator: Recycle an Item | Recycle Now. To find out more about Recycle Week and The Big Recycling Hunt visit The Action Pack.
