Simpler Recycling: Toolkit

The Government’s Simpler Recycling reforms will ensure households across England can recycle the same materials.

The aim is simple: make recycling easier, reduce confusion and increase recycling rates. Clear, effective communication will be key to success.

This toolkit has been developed to help local authorities explain service improvements and changes consistently. It includes editable, downloadable assets designed to:

• Support the rollout of Simpler Recycling
• Provide clear messages for residents
• Build confidence in recycling correctly.

With these resources, councils can communicate changes effectively and help residents play their part in boosting recycling rates.
