- Despite the fact that glass is totally recyclable, only 15 per cent of the glass we throw away is recycled.
- Every Sunday, 90 per cent of all newspapers are thrown away, which is the equivalent of putting 500,000 trees in a landfill site.
- Waste food can also be recycled simply and safely at home if you make your own compost, which can provide any flowers or plants you may have with a nice eco-friendly fertiliser.
- A good place to start if you are interested in finding out about recycling in your area is to go to your local council's web site.
