Glass recycling update 👇👇👇 We are still collecting from the glass banks but there's a few things to think about given the current circumstances.
✅ Recycle your glass if you need to go to the supermarket OR you pass a bank while exercising. Otherwise STAY AT HOME. ✅ Stay 2m away from anyone else using the bottle banks. ... ✅ If a glass bank is full please don't leave glass next to it, this is classed as fly tipping
If you're self isolating or can't get to a bank right now then try to store your glass at home. You can check your nearest glass banks via the re3cyclopedia app, just type ‘glass bottle’ and your postcode in the search box 💻 bit.ly/re3search 📲 AppStore bit.ly/re3cyclopedia 📲 GooglePlayStore bit.ly/re3cyclopediagoogleplay
