Supporting young people across our district
We advocate recycling
We can all make a difference
The aim of Recycle Now is to build a nation where recycling is the norm and, together, help make a better world for future generations.
Youth Canterbury follow these principles and promote recycling across our events and activity provisions.
The story so far.....
Recycle Now was established in 2004 when recycling by citizens was in its infancy. Today recycling has been widely adopted across the UK and Recycle Now continues to motivate more people, to recycle more of the right things, more often.
Many people currently have a ‘rubbish bin first’ mindset. We want to shift thinking to a mindset where recycling is the first thing we think about, with appropriate items then being separated out to be put in the rubbish bin.
We save 18 million tonnes of CO2 a year by recycling. We know it will take everyone working alongside each other to bring about real sustainable change. It’s time to take the climate crisis down by recycling more of the right things, more often
