<\/p>\nRecycling plastic pots, tubs, trays and bottles is a habit familiar with most households, but did you know a whole host of easily recyclable plastic items are often forgotten about?<\/p>\n
In Devon, around 26 per cent of the plastics found in the black bin could have been recycled in the household kerbside recycling.<\/p>\n
Most recycling happens in the kitchen, but do you remember to recycle the plastics from your bathroom too?<\/p>\n
Shampoo, toiletries and detergent\/cleaning bottles can all be recycled in the household kerbside recycling but are often missed.<\/p>\n
To help plastics find their way into the right bin, Recycle Devon is offering a free prize draw to households who pledge to recycle cleaning and beauty bottles.<\/p>\n

Simply follow Recycle Devon on Facebook<\/a>, X<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> and pledge to recycle your cleaning and beauty plastic bottles at home for a chance to enter the prize draw. You could win one of 8 BBC Earth Bags made from recycled bottles, to keep in the bathroom and make recycling that little bit easier.<\/p>\n Councillor Ruth Williams, acting Chair of the Devon Authorities Strategic Waste Committee said: \u201cRecycling bathroom plastics such as empty shampoo and shower gel bottles, toiletries, bleach bottles and bathroom cleaners is so easy, but often forgotten. Most people have a recycling bin in their kitchen, but not in the bathroom. If you don\u2019t have space for a bathroom recycling bin, a bag on the bag of the door can work just as well and serve as a reminder to recycle. Just wash, squash and pop it in the bag or recycle bin!\u201d<\/p>\n To enter the draw and for more information about reducing, reusing and recycling, visit www.recycledevon.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n The prize draw will take place at noon on August 26.<\/p>\n
