No time to recycle? Think it's not worth the effort? Think again!

Recycling an old empty cleaning spray takes just seconds and means it can be reused to make handy new stuff like a raincoat or umbrella. Same with that fancy perfume bottle - if you recycle it, the glass can be transformed into a champagne bottle for your next celebration! 🍾 

It’s easy to rescue everyday items from the rubbish and recycle them instead, giving them a new lease of life and save it from going to waste.

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 ♻️🌍🍏💚
