Why should you join?
In the UK people will soon find it easier to recycle when they’re out and about. "Recycle on the Go" is a new drive to put accessible recycling bins in public places, developed by Defra, Recycle Now and Encams (Keep Britain Tidy).
It’s already started, with The Royal Parks rolling out a recycling bin pilot in Hyde Park over the next three months.
A good practice guide and a code of practice will help those responsible for public places to make recycling easy and accessible. Wherever possible bins will feature the familiar Recycle Now signage so people can easily identify where and how to recycle their cans, bottles and paper.
Voluntary Code of Practice:
The voluntary code of practice sets out key principles for managers of public places who want to offer facilities for recycling in public areas. It can apply to locations managed by public and private bodies; and sites that are indoors and outdoors to which the public has access.
The voluntary code of practice recommends that good public place recycling schemes follow 4 key principles:
Provide recycling opportunities along with provisions for the correct disposal of waste that cannot be recycled; Adopt standard signage on all recycle bins; Maintain and upkeep bins; and Re-use, recycle and / or compost the materials collected.

Recycling on the go is important. Thousands of students study at the schools, colleges and universitys in our country. Hundreds of plastic bottles, hundreds of newspapers and goodness knows what other rubbish is produced by us all when we're on the go! As students we have the power to pressure where we study to adopt recycling where we study!
