I’m Bobby the box – and I’m made from cardboard! Did you know, paper and cardboard make up 20% of what’s in your recycling bin? When you’re finished with me I want to be recycled and that’s because I can change into all sorts of fantastic things! I can be recycled into new cardboard items, such as books, cereal boxes, paperboard, paper towels, tissues and printing or writing paper. I can’t wait to begin my next adventure! Don’t forget to fold me up, pop me in your recycling bin or bring me down to your local recycling centre when you are finished with me, because when you recycle me I can begin my new life as anything I want, so make sure to recycle and change for the better. If you’d like to learn more about my adventures, watch my video here!

Hi there! I’m Jenny the Jam Jar! I’m made from clear glass. Some of my friends are made from green and brown glass, we come in all different shapes and sizes, and we all love to visit the bottle bank to be recycled! One of the best thing about recycling glass is that it can be recycled forever, so, when you’re finished with me and my friends, make sure to rinse us out, separate us by colour, and pop down to your nearest bottle bank to help us on our way to our new life - who knows where we’ll end up! If you’d like to learn more about what we can be turned into, watch our video here.

Hi! We’re Contaminated! That means we weren’t rinsed, cleaned or washed before we were put into the recycling bin – which means we won’t get to be recycled into something new! When we try to turn into something fantastic and new, the recycling process doesn’t work how it’s mean to, and we go to waste! So don’t forget, when you are done with us, treat us properly. Before you put us in the recycling bin or bring us to the recycling centre, make sure we are clean and dry, so we can begin our new life just like our friends! Watch our video for more information on avoiding contamination!
