We’re supporting National Recycle Week 2026, an annual campaign by Recycle Now to raise awareness and share information about recycling.
We are committed to helping customer reduce waste and have recently introduce a new small electricals recycling point for Westgate. We encourage everyone to recycle to the best of their ability.
Here are some quick facts about the difference recycling can make:
- Recycling a yoghurt pot saves enough energy to fully charge your phone.
- Recycling 8 banana peels generates enough energy to boil a kettle.
- Metals can be recycled again and again, forever, they never need to end up in landfill.
- Toilet roll tubes can become egg cartons, tissue boxes, and even notebooks. Don’t let them end up in the bin.
- 8 million plastic bottles are used every day in the UK, they can be recycled.
- Recycling just one deodorant can could save enough energy to charge your phone over FORTY times.
