We’re celebrating our new recycling service’s first birthday by publishing our ‘Thank you for recycling’ Infographic – full of stats, figures and quirky recycling facts. Did you know after only one year :

• 8 out of 10 homes* in Reigate and Banstead are now recycling
• we’re recycling 50% of our rubbish – compared to a national average of 43%
• £215,000 in landfill tax has been avoided by diverting rubbish from landfill into recycling
• £2.5 million has been raised from recycling materials – helping keep the pressure on your council tax down.

Download our Infographic for facts on:

• what recycling different items can mean for energy saving
• the scary amount of food thrown away each year in the UK
• ‘did you know’ facts to impress your friends with.

Our Infographic is just part of a wider campaign we’re running to encourage people to rethink their rubbish and recycle as much as possible. Check out our website for more campaign details and look our for our posts on our Facebook page, tweets, ads online and outdoors as well as mailings to some households.

Recycling round-up

Christmas is coming

Look out for a letter from us at the end of November/early December telling you about Christmas and New Year changes to your recycling and refuse collection days. We will send you your 2014 recycling and refuse collection calendar at the same time. You can also check on our website for the Christmas and New Year changes.

New recycling service rolling out to flats

We’re starting to introduce the new recycling service to flats area by area, over the next couple of years, working through the collection days one at a time. Flats in Court Lodge, Horley were the first to go live in October.

There’s no need to contact us – we will write to you ahead of the new service coming to your flat.
