Veolia, Nottinghamshire County Council’s recycling and waste contractor, is relaunching the Notts Recycles Pledge again this January to raise funds for the council chairman’s chosen charity, When you Wish Upon a Star.

In return for each pledge made during January, Veolia will donate £1 to the charity.

Nottinghamshire residents are encouraged to make a Notts Recycles pledge online at www.veolia.co.uk/nottinghamshire/nottsrecyclespledge. They could be in with the chance of winning an eco hamper to help start their reduced waste journey this year.

Potential pledges could be:

• To check the recycling information online and put the right things in the right bin

• To take a reusable cup for your takeaway coffee

• To learn how to compost at home

• To get a separate recycling bin in the bathroom for all those plastic bottles and cardboard tubes

• To tell five people that aerosol cans can go into the recycling bin at home

The council is asking all participants to share their pledges online using the hashtag #NottsRecycles encourages more people to take part.

Coun Mike Quigley, chairman of the council, said: “We can all play a part in saving our environment by reducing our waste, reusing where possible and recycling.

Join with me this January in making a Notts Recycles pledge, and in return Veolia will donate £1 for every pledge to my chosen charity for the year When You Wish Upon a Star.”

Lea Hawkes, general manager Veolia Nottinghamshire, added: “We want Notts residents to make a Notts Recycles pledge for a greener 2022, protecting the environment by choosing to reduce reuse and recycle more next year. We can all do something more no matter how small, together we can pledge to make small changes that will make a huge difference.
