Help the planet become a better place :) Recycling in East London is quick and easy. It’s about making a simple choice between putting items in your bin or recycling them. But each council has different rules and different policies. Even better than recycling is reducing the amount of waste we produce in the first place and this can save you lots of money too. Difference between Recycling or not You really can make a difference by recycling. Recycling · Creates jobs : nationally up to 563,000 new jobs could be created if we all recycle more · Reduces waste disposal costs : we would save up to £500,000 a year · Helps tackle climate change : paper and other biodegradable items create greenhouse gases when they rot in landfill sites contributing to climate change · Saves energy : less energy is used than making items from new e.g. every plastic bottle recycled saves enough energy to power a light bulb for six hours
