Shropshire schools recycling electrical items

Local schools are recycling electrical items as part of a new competition being run by Shropshire Council and their contractor Veolia.  Each school gets a huge pink skip for a week and who ever recycles the most can win a cash prize of £500.  Its all about raising awareness as much as actually recycling old electrical items, like TV's, mobile phones, fridges, laptops, kettles, toasters, torches, alarm clocks, microwaves, computer monitors, cookers and calculators.  So hopefully it will result in more recycling which means less waste to have to end up going into landfill, but its also important in shaping the minds of future citizens of Shropshire, so that they grow up with the right attitude to waste.
