Get Sorted MK! recycling campaign
Loughton and Great Holm Parish Council are supporting the Get Sorted MK! recycling campaign.
Get Sorted MK! is a new, fun and useful way to find out about how all sorts of things can be recycled, reused or repurposed from MK Council. Contamination of the recycling bags is a problem in MK and a high number of these are arriving at the Materials Recycling Factory (MRF) every week with things like food waste or dirty nappies in them which have to be picked out by hand!
These can also contaminate the recyclable items inside the bag making the whole bag unsuitable for recycling. On the new website getsortedmk.co.uk you can find out information, get tips and advice and upload your photos about recycling in MK.
