Text your waste away with recycle-more.co.uk

December 14, 2007

Rather than waste your texts, recycle-more.co.uk has come up with a way to text your waste away.

Text ‘waste’ or ‘elec’ and your postcode to 60060 from anywhere in the UK, and you will receive a text back with details of where you can recycle anything from plastic milk bottles to old toasters.

It’s recycle-more.co.uk’s latest iniative, which enables you to figure out what to do with the stuff your council doesn’t pick up from your doorstep, and also means you can take your good habits with you when holidaying or visiting relatives in the UK.

Texts to 60060 will cost 50p plus standard network charge. Users will only be charged once, regardless of how many texts form the reply. The 50p charge covers the cost of maintaining an accurate nationwide recycling service. If any money is made from the text service, it will be put back into the system and used to encourage recycling throughout the UK.
