Recycling campaign showing person smiling

We need to improve the levels of recycling in Lichfield, Burntwood and our villages.

We're so excited to launch our recycle for good campaign that features the real voices of our residents, who share why they recycle and why we need to do more.

You'll find lots of resources and information in our recycle for good web section to help and motivate you, your families and friends to recycle even more!

Here's our top five reasons to recycle more:

  1. Fresh air and clear skies When we recycle, we cut down on all that messy business of digging up and refining raw materials. The result? Cleaner air and purer water for all of us to enjoy. 
  2. Hugging our resources Mother Earth has given us some fabulous natural treasures, but they're not endless! By recycling, we're giving these resources a much-needed hug and ensuring they last longer. 
  3. Wildlife high five Every time you toss something into the recycling bin, you're helping protect our beautiful ecosystems and the wonderful creatures that call them home. Imagine fewer trees being chopped and less ground being disturbed. That's a win for Bambi and friends! 
  4. Less is more With recycling, we reduce the mad rush for raw materials. So, the more we recycle, the less we need to take from our planet. Simple, right? 
  5. Energy saver Here's a fun fact! Making new things from recycled materials uses way less energy than starting from scratch. Think of it as the energy-saving mode for the planet. 

Join us as part of our recycle for good campaign and help us to recycle even more to make a positive difference for the future of our children and grandchildren.
