Recycle for Jamboree

The UK produces more than 434 million tonnes of waste every year, most gets dumped in landfill sites, but a lot can be recycled and it couldn’t be easier to do…

STEP 1 - WASH & SQUASH
Food packaging like tins, cans and plastic containers require cleaning before recycling so use your old washing up water and give them a quick rinse.

STEP 2 - SORT & STORE
At your Group campsite, find a place to store your recycling in your camping area. A number of bins or bags could be used to keep items separate.

STEP 3 - DEPOSIT
Take your recycled items to the recycle points located around the Jamboree site.

STEP 4 - ENCOURAGE
Try and encourage everyone in your camping area to think whether items can be reused or recycled before they're thrown away

At the Jamboree we encourage everyone to follow four simple steps to ensure that the Jamboree contributes to the ecology of the planet by helping to reduce landfill dumping by recycling.

At the Jamboree we can recycle all of these things..

NOTE: Polystyrene can not be recycled
