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.

Well done to these pupils at East Boldon Junior School who modelled the recycled fashion items they had made in 2009. Photo: sg
2. Be-spoke in 2009
These Laygate Primary School pupils should be proud of their efforts. They were pictured with the school's new bike recycling scheme in 2009. Photo: SN
3. Perfect at Prince Edward Court
