Recycle for Cornwall
The Recycle for Cornwall campaign has been developed to raise public awareness of recycling and to provide consumers with a compelling reason to recycle.

As the evenings draw out and the weather gets a little warmer, many of us start to get outside more. Recycle for Cornwall has some great ideas for you on how to reduce, reuse and recycle in Cornwall this spring.

Small things make a big difference

Top Tip: Use a lunch box and cut down on your food packaging

Why not reuse old ice cream tubs for lunch boxes and pack your sandwiches in tin foil (which can be reused and then recycled) instead of using cling film. Avoid individually wrapped treats, instead try buying larger, less packaged goods that you can portion yourself; these often cost far less than their individually wrapped counterparts. Pack a piece of healthy fruit which needs no packaging at all and take any skins or cores home to compost.
