Recycling for Worcester
We are recycling approximately 37% of Worcester City's household waste which is a whopping 21% increase from when we first introduced kerbside recycling services in 2003!
Please help us keep up the good work! And don't forget to use recycling sites and centres for textiles, furniture, electronics, foil, batteries – and many more items. Good quality items are always appreciated at your local charity shop too.
