9 archive South Tyneside photos which show how great you are at recycling everything from fashion to carrier bags

Nostalgia and recycling all in one. Sounds like a great idea! And here are 9 South Tyneside photos to prove it.

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.
