Recycle Week is well under way and it aims to get us thinking about whether we could all recycle more.
Perhaps we could take a lesson or two from these green-thinking people who have made good use of everything from bicycles to carrier bags.
We’ve got photos from Laygate Primary, Lukes Lane Community Association, Temple Park Juniors, Prince Edward Court and more.
Christmas trees, paper and even paint pots get the spotlight. Take a look.
