What is Recycle Week?

Recycle Week 2008 is a national campaign co-ordinated by the Waste Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and this year is aiming to inspire people to recycle ‘just one more thing’.

It’s about showing residents that recycling can be easy, it does benefit the environment and everyone’s individual contribution will make a big difference.

Five local businesses in Devizes and five in Marlborough displayed a green reusable Recycle for Wiltshire jute bag in their shop windows during Recycle Week.
