It’s Global Recycling Day – Don’t Forget to do Your Bit!

Today Monday 18th March is Global Recycling Day - Make Sure You Do Your Bit!

Founded in 2018, the purpose of this day is to bring awareness to and celebrate, the importance that recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources  and securing the future of our planet 

Did you know by recycling a single aluminium can you save enough energy to power a TV for up to three hours or an iPod for up to twenty hours?! 

Do your bit – make sure you stop by Paddington Recreation Ground and make a deposit at the Reverse Vending Machine. All single use plastic bottles and aluminium cans are accepted.

And remember for every deposit you make North Paddington Youth Centre receives 10p!
