Recycle Christmas cards and vote Warwickshire a forest
 |
Warwickshire Waste Partnership, made up of Warwickshire County Council and the five district and borough councils, is backing the Woodland Trust’s Christmas Card recycling scheme.
People can get involved throughout January by recycling cards in special bins in WHSmith, TK Maxx and Marks & Spencer, and by doing so will be helping the Woodland Trust reach its target to plant 12,000 native trees.
Cllr Alan Cockburn, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for the Environment, said: “Warwickshire is proud to back this scheme this Christmas. At a time of giving it’s always good to consider the environment.
“Local people can also support Warwickshire by voting for the Woodland Trust to plant the trees in our region at the Woodland Trust Website.”
Since the Woodland Trust started its Christmas Card Recycling Scheme, a total of 659m cards have been recycled - 59m last year alone, which funded the planting of 14,000 trees.
In the 12 years of the project, 13,080 tonnes of cards have been collected, allowing the Trust to plant 155,000 trees.
To find out what you can recycle in the area you live visit the Recycle Now website.
Laura Underwood, from Recycle Now, said:
“We’re delighted to support the Woodland Trust recycling scheme this Christmas. Christmas is a time when we naturally generate waste, so recycling as much as possible can really help to de-clutter our homes in time for our family and friends visiting.
“By recycling your Christmas cards, it’s great to know that you’re helping a good cause and are able to vote for the region that you’d like your trees to be planted in.”
