Are You A Clean Green Recycling Machine?
Recycling is very, very important because it helps to look after our fab and funky planet!
...all of the trees in the world were to be cut down just so that we could have paper? Some of my friends would have nowhere to live!
If only more people would recycle their paper we could save loads and loads of trees!
...people threw their glass bottles on the floor? If the bottles were broken and my friends and I were playing nearby, we could really hurt ourselves!
If only more people would recycle their glass bottles!

...our area was covered in food and drinks cans? There would be nowhere safe for us to play! Do you know it takes over 80 years for a can to rot?
If only more people would recycle their food and drinks cans!

We need YOUR help!
How do you become a Clean Green Recycling Machine?
It's easy-peasy to recycle from home. Even you kids can do it!
My friends within the Councils' Care for Your Area department are fantastic because they've made sure that each home can have a Blue Box and a Blue Bag so we can a put in any rubbish that can be recycled. They will then take it away to different factories where it will be recycled and made into new things.
| Glass Bottles and Jars Green, brown, blue and clear glass can all be recycled using the blue box collection! Make sure the glass is not broken - we don't want anyone to get hurt. |

| Food and drinks cans Give them a rinse out so that they are not dirty and smelly! Watch your fingers - they can be sharp! |

| Newspapers, Magazines and Junk mail This goes in the special blue bag not the box! |
