Question

recycle more?

Most councils now collect most things from the side of the road and it seems so easy yet loads of people still arent doing it enough.

What kind of promotion would really appeal to you or your agegroup to change the way you act???

Answer 1

to be brutally honest it would probably only really help if they paid me or financially rewarded me for doing it... shocking but just being honest!

Answer 2

Having a council that cared a bit more would help in this town, I put a pile of cardboard out the other day, they wouldn't take it as its not paper, neither are cereal boxes yet they take those, we could do with a tub or bin for plastic items too, our council don't do that, if you want to recycle either cardboard or plastic in our town you go to the tip/refuse centre with them yourself but its only open till 4 pm each day, lots of people are still at work themselves at that time and the weekends generally finds them with something else to do other than recycle or waste their petrol going to the tip, a bit of encouragement from the local councils and government to make recycle part of your everyday routine would help big time, we take all our things to the tip/recycle centre once a month ourselves, trying to do our bit for the environment even if the council isn't interested, we are.

Answer 3

They need to make it much easier to recycle by placing bins by the dumpsters. I live in a very densely packed neighborhood and there are only a few trash collection sites for most of the neighborhood. We have to take our recyclables to a collection site, which is too far away.

Answer 4

We already have roadside collection of glass, cans, paper and textiles. Additionally, we separate plastic and cardboard to take to the local refuse centre. Perhaps if the council were to collect plastic and cardboard from the roadside, more people would be inclined to separate and recycle, rather than just disposing of with the general rubbish.

Answer 5

I would recycle more if the councils and governments stopped playing at it and really made a serious effort to use recycling properly, instead of just making political brownie points as a panacea for the PC brigade. ;) H

Answer 6

There's no recycling facilities in my town except for a metal scrapping place and I never drink anything from cans so I never have need to go there. Everything else some redneck in a baseball cap with John Deere on it sets on fire....I really need to move. :( If I lived in a place with sufficient recycling facilities though I'd be an earth maniac.

Answer 7

I do recycle and I throw stuff in my recycle bin that I know they don't recycle in the hopes that if they receive enough of it, they will consider expanding their program. What would appeal to people in my age group? I don't know, maybe education in the form of TV commercials because that seems to be all anybody pays attention to these days. (I'm in my thirties).

Answer 8

Education.

Answer 9

im 16 and i recycle a thing most young people wouldnt do i suppose if your around people doing it you kind of just do it inever put bottles and that in the bin more people should do it

Answer 10
