The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has revamped its Recycle Now website and launched two new sites for Recycle for Scotland and Rethink Waste in Northern Ireland respectively (Wasteawareness Wales maintains its current site).

The websites aim to ‘help householders recycle more effectively’ and provide an A-Z of ‘what to do with’ questions for different materials, and a postcode locator that can show householders what they can recycle locally.

WRAP has said that ‘extra work’ is also underway to ‘improve and develop’ the postcode locater in the coming year.

It is hoped that the new sites will make it ‘even simpler’ for householders to check which items area accepted for recycling at their kerbside service and local bring site facilities.

Originally launched 10 years ago, the Recycle Now consumer site has proved popular, with 1.2 million people visiting the site last year.

Updated partners website

As well as the consumer website, WRAP has also launched a new partners website which houses all of the body’s consumer campaign materials for use by partners such as local authorities.

The ‘one stop shop’ resource library on recycling, reuse and waste prevention campaigns – such as those hosted on the Recycle Now, Love Food Hate Waste, Rethink Waste, and Zero Waste Scotland sites –offers partners across all UK nations a range of communications templates and support materials for free download.

WRAP CEO Liz Goodwin said: “The new partner website will act as a simple, one-stop-shop for local authorities, organisations, businesses and schools to access a complete range of communications tools and resources to better promote waste prevention, reuse and effective recycling.”
