Do something good for the environment!

Do Something Good for the Environment Today!

We just wanted to remind you about the Reverse Vending Machine at Paddington Recreation Ground. 

Just to refresh your memory, following one of the Climate Assembly’s recommendations, the machine was installed with the aim to incentivise recycling. 

For every correctly recycled single use bottle or aluminium can, North Paddington Youth Centre will receive 10p worth of funding. How great is that? You can do something good for the environment, whilst raising funds!
