Starve Your Bin

Helping you to recycle more

This website aims to show you that you can recycle more than you think and give you all the information you need to recycle more.

London recycles only 20 per cent of its rubbish. Around 60 per cent of what we feed our black bins could be recycled.

Take a look at our 'Starve your bin' ads and follow Alistair's example by putting your bin on a diet now.
