COMMUNITY RECYCLING AMBASSADOR

 

What are Community Recycling Ambassadors?

Community Recycling Ambassadors are individuals that champion recycling and help, COG Youth Services, to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and incineration.

Unfortunately, not all plastic items are recycled by our councils, BUT you can help us by being a:

  1. Collector – Set up a collection point at your home or work and collect the items listed below, then send them to us, so that we can sort and forward them on to one of our public collection points before going on to specialist recycling facilities.
  2. Item Sorter – We meet on a weekly basis to help sort through collections, ensuring items are sorted into the correct streams and then sent off to the correct recycling facility. You can find out more by going here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cogysterracycle
