Amy is a Street Champion who started a community recycling drop-off station on her street.
In March, 2021, Amy and her family set up a community drop-off point for recycling of tricky to recycle items. Specifically, items that cannot be recycled kerbside. They accepted printer cartridges, pens, blister packs, toothpaste tubes and other oral care products, batteries and light globes. The idea was that it would create a more convenient and local, all-in-one, drop-off point for these items. Rather than having many people driving all over the place to drop-off these items, they have one point and Amy and her family make two trips per year to the appropriate recycling points for these items.
To date, they have recycled over 3000 items, which is over 15kg of waste!
