Simpler Recycling: Adding new materials to existing services

Local authorities in England must comply with the requirements of Simpler Recycling.

In some areas this will mean simply adding one or more core materials to existing recycling collections, without other service changes. This applies to both kerbside and flats/communal properties.

All template assets are editable and can be tailored to reflect your council recycling service.

Please refer to the images of materials and containers and Rescue Me characters when editing the assets to align with your local collection services.

A supporting information pack is available which includes: web page copy, frequently asked questions, social media posts, a press release and a council newsletter/blog.
