You can also look at ways to replace single-use with refillable containers.
Beer, milk, wine, kombucha and more can be refilled in select stores.
Don't buy bottled water, grab a resuable bottle and carry it with you.
Recycle your elligible drink containers through a CDS scheme to guarantee they will be recycled.
Encourage your local schools, sports groups and community organisations to get involved and use CDs for fund raising.
Putting containers in your recycling bin is a great way to make a difference.
And if you have the opportunity to cash in your bottles and cans, using a container refund point is even better because containers are easier to recycle when they are cleaner.
Head to your local council website to learn more about what goes in which bin for your area.
Don't just walk past drink containers you see, pick them up and get them into recycling. Without you, they can remain in the environment for over 1000 years.
