Get Your Hands On Green Goodies

You've read a magazine, finished up a tin of beans and have just finished peeling the spuds for tonight's tea, now what do you do with it all?

Recycle Devon wants you to get involved in National Recycling Week from Monday 17th to Friday 21st June so you know exactly what you can do with your rubbish. And to give you a nudge in the right direction we've a whole host of prizes up for grabs.

Whether it's glass bottles or batteries they can be recycled, you just need to know where, so all this week we're helping you to keep Devon green.
