Events

The second Recycling Bus may be able to help your community group with a recycling project. Whether you're starting a new recycling scheme, fundraising or want to get the recycling message across, the bus is an eye-catching centre piece in any location.

Here are some of the ways the recycling Bus has been used by community groups:

• As a mobile display
• To promote composting
• As an area for training adults in recycling issues and activities
• For the real nappy roadshow
• As an information point at markets and fetes.
