Chinese New Year brings great opportunity to recycle
23 January, 2012
Today is Chinese New Year, hailing the return of the dragon, the most auspicious of the 12 zodiac signs. People born in the year of the Dragon are seen as fiercely intelligent people, who are loyal to their family, successful and passionate.On the first day of New Year celebrations, we are encouraged to clean out our houses, so taking a trip to your local household waste recycling centre (HWRC) is a great way to start. It’s a perfect time to get rid of any leftover cardboard or packaging, old electrical goods and old clothes that may have filled your wardrobes and drawers in the past year.
Whilst you’re at it, don’t forget to take your used cooking oil along to your nearest HWRC too. Tanks are located at HWRCs around the country for residential used cooking oil disposal, allowing residents to get rid of waste oil in a responsible manner. When full, the used cooking oil tanks are collected by Living Fuels and is recovered through a 100% natural process into our clean, green bioliquid, LF100. This liquid is then fed straight into the National Grid as part of their STOR contract, which offers additional power at times of unexpected electricity demand.
New Year should be a time of making new resolutions and new beginnings, so lets welcome in the Year of the Dragon by throwing out the old and welcoming in the new!
