All those shiny gadgets, indulgent, overpackaged foods over Christmas come with a price. Not just weight gain and technology overkill, no. You’re also bound to generate a fair amount of waste that your council won’t pick up and recycle. Recycle-more.co.uk has come up with a text-based scheme to ensure you don’t end up contributing to a landfill.
Simply taste ‘waste’ or ‘elec’ and your postcode to 60060 from anywhere in the UK. You’ll get a text back with details of the place closest to you that will provide the facilities you need. Not everyone is lucky enough to live in a council that recycles plastic bottles, for example (thank you Ealing!), but that needn’t be a problem anymore.
Also, as New Consumer points out, if you’re visiting around the country and want to take your good habits with you, it’s easily done. Texts cost 50p plus standard network charges, but you won’t be charged extra for replies that take more than one text. Any profit will be ploughed back into recycling schemes and campaigns.
