Lewes District Council is keen to boost recycling by encouraging residents to think about some of the less obvious items that can be recycled.

The project links in with National Recycling Week, which runs until tomorrow. The theme of the national recycling effort this year is “The Unusual Suspects”.

Councillor Paul Franklin, lead member for waste at Lewes District Council, said: “It would be great if residents can find that extra glass bottle, jam jar, tin, bag of clothes or newspaper to recycle on a regular basis. Over time this will make a big difference and help to increase recycling rates across the district.
