Recycling Bins

Multiple recycling points can be found across Preston Park (see map). Which are maintained and collected by the City Council as well as other companies and charities.

Materials that can be recycled (Not all materials can be recycled at every point please see http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/environment/recycling-rubbish-and-street-cleaning/recycling-points for more details):

Cans, tins and aerosols (washed and empty aerosols with lids removed) Cardboard (flattened to fit in bin) Glass bottles and jars (washed with lids removed) Paper (including directories) Plastic bottles (washed and squashed) Shoes (tied together by the laces) Cartons (washed and squashed) Textiles Electrical items (broken or usable, small enough to fit into the chute)

How is this contributing to environmental citizenship?

Recycling bins contribute to environmental citizenship as they are used on a daily basis to keep the community clean and tidy. Recycling waste is good for the environment as it helps to reduce quantities of waste going to landfill sites so that we have prolonged use of these sites. The bins engage citizens in the global importance recycling has in helping to reduce global warming and make these citizens feel they are contributing to a larger cause.
