ad | it’s recycle week !!!! here’s a little series of illustrations I made for @londonrecyclesuk to help Londoners recycle more and recycle better ♻️🌍💚 did you know over half of UK citizens miss opportunities to recycle ? Despite research showing that young Londoners aged 18-34 care deeply about the environment, we are also the most likely to dispose of items incorrectly !! 😬 ♻️ Living in house shares with limited space, being time poor, and often moving to new areas with unfamiliar recycling collections and rules surrounding them are just a few of the practical barriers we might face when it comes to recycling 🌍 Thankfully @londonrecyclesuk has a super handy tool to help :)))) So before you bin it, check to see whether it can be recycled instead - via the @londonrecyclesuk Services At A Glance webpage ♻️🌍🍏💚 #london #recycleweek #rescuemerecycle #londoners #environment #recycling #ecofriendly #environmentalism #illustration #earthillustration #thingstodoinlondon #londonillustration #illustrator
♻️ It’s Recycle Week this week and we’re celebrating by asking YOU to rescue stuff from the bin and check to see if it can be recycled. We know that sometimes our busy schedules can get in the way, that’s why we’re happy to help with the London Recycles Services at a Glance tool. Using the tool is easy, quick and shows you everything that can or can’t be recycled in your area - find it at the London Recycles link in bio. #RescueMeRecycle #RecycleWeek #ad
🔌 Are you taking part in the #GreatCableChallenge ? On Monday 14th October for International E-Waste Day, @recycleyourelectricals_ are calling for everyone to drop off their old unused cables at one of their many recycling points across London and the UK. Electrical waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world – and we are throwing away some of the most precious materials on our planet with 5 million cables binned every year. But in better news... If 1 million of us all recycled one cable, we could save at least 5,000kg of precious copper from going to waste! 👉 So, gather up your old cables - and any other old electricals you find in your drawer of doom! - and recycle them this International E-Waste Day. #EWasteDay #GreatCableChallenge

All you have to do is round up those old cables you’ve got lying around, bag them up and take them to a drop off point. Yep, it's that simple! 👉 Use @recycleyourelectricals_ recycling locator to find your nearest drop off point - link in their bio. #EWasteDay #GreatCableChallenge
