This week marks Recycle Week 2022 and Bracknell Forest is encouraging residents to get real about recycling. Recycling doesn’t have to be difficult, and we all have a responsibility to do it correctly.

Did you know that 20 per cent of waste collected in blue bins in Bracknell Forest is contaminated? Contaminants such as food, beauty products and electricals make our waste unable to be recycled.

But  this can be fixed, if you’re unsure on how to dispose of certain items, use the Re3cyclopedia app. You can type in the item and see how to dispose of it and where.

Let’s get real about recycling and make Bracknell Forest a cleaner and greener place to live.
