Residents of Leigh-on-sea can win a prize if they successfully reduce their waste and recycle more!
Each week, crews in Southend collect around 645 tonnes of rubbish in black sacks. That’s the equivalent of 46 double-decker buses. But did you know that on average, 58% of the content of those black bags could have been recycled in the pink recycling sacks, blue paper and card box or even the food waste bin?
