Wasteconnect Helps Raise Recycling Rates

Studies have shown that when it comes to recycling and waste management people are far more likely to take part when there is something in it for them or if it is very easy to do so.  This has led to companies trying to make recycling profitable or easy for people by offering incentives for recycling as well as easier ways to do it.  Mobile phone recycling companies are a perfect example of how this can be an effective way to raise recycling rates, as many companies are offering cash or vouchers as an incentive, or adding recycling drop off points in convenient locations to help make it much easier.  Recently a website was developed in the United Kingdom which aims to help make recycling much easier for everyone by giving nearby locations of where to recycle as well as advice on what can be recycled.

Wasteconnect.co.uk is a website which offers a comprehensive list of all of the recycling drop off points throughout the country.  The website hopes to offers a one stop location where individuals and businesses can find ways to help them more effectively manage their waste.  Not only does the site give information about household recycling locations and details, it also offers information about business to business recycling as well.   In addition the site offers information about various types of recycling and answers the questions that are frequently asked by residents.

The site also has links to websites and news stories about topical recycling information which allows customers to keep up to date with the latest information.
