The Recycle for Cornwall campaign has been developed to raise public awareness of recycling and to provide consumers with a compelling reason to recycle.
Recycling in Carrick is collected from households fortnightly through a red bag and Bumper Box scheme. Bumper Boxes are made from recycled car bumpers demonstrating just one of the many useful products that can be made from recycled materials.
