RecycleNow has so much good information on recycling it should be everyone's first port of call.
Have a browse around their site. If you're not inspired after that then there's no hope for you!!
http://www.recyclenow.com
It's also Hart's subsidised supplier of Composter bins (£8 - £10). We think everyone should have a composter, even if you're not a gardener (we're not) Putting all your food scraps & garden waste in a composter saves on landfill / incineration & trips to the dump. You then end up with great fertilizer for gardens, pots, hanging baskets or just for feeding the worms. What more incentive do you need?? :)
