What can you do?
The best thing you can do is create less waste wherever possible. Try to avoid disposable coffee cups, plastic bottles, straws and cutlery and use reusable items instead. Buy products with minimal/no packaging and when you do have to throw something away, it’s important to recycle what you can.
Knowing what packaging is recyclable can be a difficult task, however. If you’re unsure what can or can’t be put in the recycling bin, see this handy online recycling checker.
