The campaign, which recently visited Epworth Market Place, is being led by plastics recycling body Recoup, who aim to make the public more aware of house collection services which will hopefully increase the amount of plastic recycled.

The campaign is helping the council promote its new recycling initiatives, where from September 29; residents can recycle items such as juice cartons and bottle tops, previously not allowed in burgundy bins.
