Now in its twenty second year, Recycle Week is the nation’s biggest annual celebration of recycling.
This Recycle Week, which is running from 22 – 28 September, Recycle Now and the Suffolk Waste Partnership are proud to support the Rescue Me! Recycle campaign.
The campaign continues to shine a spotlight on missed capture items that too often end up in the rubbish bin but can, and should, be recycled.
Following the success of last year’s campaign, Rescue Me! Recycle returns with two new characters joining the recycling mission:
- Shampoo bottles
- Foil
The above two items join the list from last year:
- Trigger sprays
- Aerosols
- Yoghurt pots
- Toilet roll tubes
Here in Suffolk, we are putting missed capture items front and centre.
Top tips for recycling in Suffolk:
- Recycle more of these items: Shampoo bottles and foil
- Make sure you recycle these items: cleaning product bottles, aerosols, yoghurt pots, toilet roll tubes, plastic toiletry bottles and food tins.
Catherine David, CEO of WRAP, said:
“Recycle Week continues to be a powerful moment to inspire action across the UK, and this year’s ‘Rescue Me! Recycle’ campaign is no exception. By highlighting everyday items like shampoo bottles, foil, and aerosols —things we often overlook—we’re helping people see the real impact of small changes. Thanks to innovation and collaboration, more of these items can now be recycled than ever before. Together with local authorities and communities, we’re making it easier to do the right thing and keep valuable materials in use. Let’s rescue these items from the rubbish and give them a second life.”
Cllr Phil Smart, Chair of the Suffolk Waste Partnership said:
“Suffolk is making great strides in recycling. By rescuing those missed items, we can make our recycling efforts even more impactful. Let’s keep up the great work and make our towns and villages recycling better than ever before!”
Recycling doesn’t have to be confusing.
