Zero Waste Scotland is calling on local authorities, businesses and organisations on Arran and across Ayrshire to sign up and join its recycle week army of ambassadors.
Recycle week, which takes place from Monday September 25 to Sunday October 1, is the annual UK-wide campaign to raise awareness of how important it is to recycle. Over the course of the week Zero Waste Scotland will be encouraging people from Arran to become waste warriors and do their bit by recycling as much as they can.
Good progress has been made on recycling in Scotland in recent years, with people recycling more often at home, at work and when out and about. Despite this achievement to date, 60 per cent of the waste households are currently sending to landfill could be recycled.
