Bath & North East Somerset Council has produced an online video to encourage its residents to recycle during the Euro 2016 football championships.
Titled “Be a Recycling Champion”, the short film offers practical suggestions for football fans to ensure that the pitch is not the only thing that is green throughout the summer tournament.
The Council’s very own “Recycling Rooney” is shown popping his beer bottle in a green box for kerbside collection, heading an apple core into a food waste bin so it can be recycled, and kicking a pizza box into the cardboard recycling bag.
Councillor Martin Veal (Conservative, Bathavon North), Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “We hope that our residents who are watching the Euro 2016 Championships will remember to recycle their empty cans and bottles – either with the Council’s green box kerbside collection scheme or by taking them to their local communal recycling banks.
“Cardboard boxes from frozen pizzas can be put into the blue recycling bags, and any scraps of leftover food – including half-time oranges – can be popped in the food waste bins.
“Hopefully people will enjoy our fun video and take on board the message behind it to help us score with our recycling goals and make Bath and North East Somerset cleaner and greener.”
