Get a bike by recycling
By admin on Jun 22, 2008 in Recycling, Home & Garden
Each One Counts, the online recycling campaign for empty printer cartridges and unused mobiles, has launched re:Cycling, a new incentive scheme for active recyclers. The scheme is being run in partnership with Halfords, the UK’s largest cycle retailer.
re:Cycling offers recyclers a weekly prize draw worth £100. Winners get a Halfords Voucher that can be exchanged for a bicycle or related goods at any of their 400 stores around the UK. Anyone registered at the www.eachonecounts.co.uk website who sends a recyclable item for a partner charity is automatically entered into the draw. The online ‘checker’ on this site easily identifies items that are classified as recyclable in this scheme.
As the Government is encouraging everyone to cycle more often, the re:Cycling scheme is well timed. re:Cycling achieves several things:
- It encourages charity fundraising through recycling
- It rewards people who are active recyclers
- It helps reduce the number of cars on the road
- It encourages people to take healthy exercise
- Like the recycling schemes themselves, it helps reduce emissions and the carbon footprint of those involved.
