Journey of Recycling

Ever wonder where recycling goes once collected from your home? Or what happens to the materials you recycle?

Our Journey of Recycling videos have been created to inform residents across Liverpool City Region about what materials you can recycle at home, as well as the important role that recycling plays in tackling unnecessary waste.

By showcasing the #JourneyOfRecycling, we wish to build residents’ trust in the process and improve household recycling rates across the City Region.
