Thank you for recycling

Thanks to everyone's efforts recycling is on the up in Bury.  This is great news because when you recycle more: 

• we spend less on waste disposal;
• receive more money for the recycling you put in your recycling bins;
• you save money that helps to protect other public services. 

We thank you for giving recycling a boost in 2017.  Please keep up the your good work.
