Gillmoss Recycling Discovery Centre

Recycling is great, but it’s not the only way to reduce the waste we produce. 💚🌍

Buying what you need, swapping the way we shop, reusing what we have and passing on the rest are all better ways of dealing with waste than just chucking it in the bin!

How amazing is this? The initiative, run by Veolia - UK on behalf of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority, is helping to make a real difference in our local communities! 🌟

We love seeing how Litherland Youth & Community Centre is being creative and using the donations to create a beautiful community garden that everyone can enjoy. It’s proof that small acts of kindness can grow into something truly special. 🌱💚

The GoodBox is a new project that matches unwanted materials from local Recycling Centres with community projects supporting reuse across the Liverpool City Region. Every little bit helps to make our communities greener and more connected.

Together, we can create a cleaner, greener, and more connected future. 🌍

RETHINK - REDUCE - REUSE - we're all aspiring to zero waste in the Liverpool City Region and we need to make the most efficient use of our resources by reducing our demand on them.
