Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon District Councils are encouraging residents to get more recycling aware in return for a donation to charity.
The innovative scheme is being made available through Biffa, the Councils’ waste and recycling collection contractor, with a donation of 10p being made to the respective Chairperson’s Charities each time a search is made via the Recycling Info feature on the Councils’ mobile app.
Each District Council will commit up to a £1,000 donation to the current Chair’s chosen charities, Citizen’s Advice, Air Ambulance Service and Parkinson’s UK (Stratford-on-Avon District Council) and The Myton Hospices and Multiple System Atrophy Trust (Warwick District Council).
To participate, residents can download the app, available on both IOS and Android:
Use the Recycling Info feature to search how to recycle a household item or material.
Cllr Jenny Fradgley, Chair of Stratford-on-Avon District Council, said: “This is a great opportunity to encourage people to recycle right! We all have a part to play when reusing and recycling, join me and use the Recycling Checker and in return 10p will be donated to charities each time a search is made.”
Cllr Rob Margrave, Chairman of Warwick District Council, added: “I’m delighted to give my backing to this campaign, which is a real win win! We are determined in our efforts to further improve our recycling rates and to educate local people about the increasing range of items that can be prevented from ending up in landfill. If you haven’t already done so download the app today.”
As well as recycling information, Stratford-on-Avon District and Warwick District Councils’ mobile app offers information on waste collection days, reminders, reporting a missed bin and other Council services.
