Bucks council have partnered with aluminium packing recycling organisation (Aupro) to roll out their "Metal Matters" recycling campaign across the county.
"Metal Matters" is designed encourage households to recycle metal, and to improve education around metal packaging recycling.
An item such as a food or drinks can is endlessly recyclable into any type of metal product: from a paper clip to a car engine component, an iron to a washing machine – or simply another food or drinks can.
Leaflets will be distributed by Royal Mail to over 200,000 homes across the county, with further material set to arrive six weeks later. Educational posters will be displayed at all nine Household Recycling Centres (HRCs), the campaign will be shared from @BucksCouncil's social media channels, and a series of online resources will also be made available to local primary schools.
Cllr Bill Chapple OBE, Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, commented: "While our residents have already formed good recycling habits, we know we can do better...All metal packaging can be recycled and common household items such as food and drink cans, jam jar lids, metal screw tops, foil, empty aerosols, foil containers and takeaway trays can be disposed of in residents' recycling bins."
