own pocket. Pledge to recycle on

as part of the council’s residents’

you can also click on ‘Take a quiz’

truly kicked off
in Brazil, the
world cup football
is everywhere you look. It
is a fantastic time of sport,
celebration and patriotism, but
it is also a time of increased
consumption, both inside and
outside of the home.
If you love to watch the
games accompanied by a
cold beverage and tasty snacks
you may notice the number of
items in your recycling and refuse
containers growing. Glass bottles,
drink cans, plastic bottles, paper
and more – not forgetting putting
any leftovers in your food waste
recycling bin.

as much as you can. Pledge to
