Every year on March 18th, we globally celebrate Recycling Day. This day is perfect for educating others and promoting the importance of recycling. Each year emphasis is made on how the world needs to change. In 2022, the recycling rate for households in the UK was 43.4% dropping almost 1% from the previous year.
This means that we need to raise more awareness and work harder than ever to increase this number. At Direct2u, we have a wide range of bins to ensure you can separate your waste, and ensure you are recycling efficiently.
What can you do this year? ♻️
- Ensure that your environment has sufficient waste bins. Ensure people know which bin is the recycling, and which is black bin waste.
- Educate he people around you, ensure they know what can be recycled and what cannot.
- Raise awareness, this day is globally celebrated, so post online and show the world what you’re doing!
- Make it fun, schools typically do fun competitions and prizes to encourage students to recycle, this can help motivate everyone.
- Reuse packaging or empty items, if you can use them for other things such as storage or art projects, do it!
How can you receive rewards for Recycling? 🎁
There are many ways to make recycling fun and rewarding. In schools, small competitions can be made between classrooms to encourage students to recycle. Such as which classroom can recycle the most, or who can make the best reusable item. This works to educate students that recycling is important, as well as providing them with a motive.
In workplaces or homes, you can use apps and schemes that provide rewards and incentives. Such as Boots, who offer extra advantage card points for recycling their packaging. Also, an app called Bower, which provides cashback or vouchers when you scan and recycle waste.
