Nottinghamshire residents are being encouraged to kickstart the new year by recycling right for charity.
For every search carried out on the Recycling Checker in January, Veolia – Nottinghamshire County Council’s recycling and waste partner – will donate 10p to the NSPCC Nottinghamshire Hub, the UK’s children’s charity, with a commitment to contribute up to £1,000.
By downloading the free MyNotts app and using the Recycling Checker, residents can not only enhance their recycling knowledge but also help the NSPCC Nottinghamshire Hub, Nottinghamshire County Council chairman Coun John Ogle’s chosen charity for 2024.
The charity protects children at risk and finds the best ways of preventing abuse from happening. All funds raised will go directly to helping children and young people in Nottinghamshire.
The Recycling Checker has been developed to make sure that the wrong thing placed in a recycling bin doesn’t spoil other high-quality items. The app breaks down the items into their component parts so that residents can ensure that they recycle everything right.
John said: “We can all play a part in helping our environment by reducing our waste, reusing where possible and recycling. Join me this January in using the Recycling Checker before you dispose, and in return Veolia will donate 10p each time you do a search to my chosen charity for the year The NSPCC in Nottinghamshire.”
Steve Newman, gGeneral manager Veolia Nottinghamshire, added: “We want Nottinghamshire residents to make their 2024 more sustainable by choosing to reduce, reuse, and recycle correctly. While using the Recycling Checker might seem like a small change, collectively we can make a huge difference by ensuring we recycle the right things.”
