WEEE recycle-more!

4 February 2008

recycle-more.co.uk, in partnership with Wincanton recycling, is launching a poster competition for young people in the Glasgow area to promote recycling of waste electronics (WEEE) in the local community. The competition is open to school children or youth group members aged 12-14 and the winning poster will be professionally enlarged and pasted onto the rescapeTM banks at the Easter Queenslie recycling site; one of four sites with facilities for recycling WEEE in Glasgow. In addition, the winner's school or group will receive an expenses-paid trip to the Glasgow Science Museum and its IMAX Theatre.

All the entries received will be scanned and posted onto a dedicated recycle-more web page. Sam Blades, recycle-more Manager, commented 'this competition is a great opportunity for schools to engage with the local community. It also provides an innovative way to cover the requirements of the syllabus in this area.'

Valpak's Director of Marketing Duncan Simpson said 'The Glasgow competition is being run as a pilot scheme and we will hopefully be looking to run similar promotions in other areas of the UK later in the year'.
