🛁 Many of us have already made the switch to a reusable water bottle, but did you know that you can also reduce bottles in the bathroom? 
🧴 Although you can recycle shampoo bottles at home, they are still made from PET plastic that is made from non-renewable fossil fuels.

The UK currently recycles around 71% of container #glass, like bottles and jars @recycle_now

Glass can be #recycled over and over again. We visited a recycling plant to find out what happens to our glass once it is collected for recycling! #Kentrecycles

This is why it is so important to take your batteries to a recycling collection point. We don't want to harm crews or damage vehicles and sites!

Well done to the Canenco crews for there quick reactions @canterburycc
#KentDoes

[Kent County Council @Kent_cc]

50% of bagged waste placed in the general waste bin at our sites could have been recycled!

Do your bit by pre-sorting your waste before visiting.

Site staff may ask what is in your bags and are happy to help.
