A RECYCLING roadshow is touring parts of County Durham this week.

With the Roaming Recycler team, the show visits Barnard Castle on Wednesday. On the following day, it will be at the Asda car park in Stanley, Derwentside.

It calls at Bishop Auckland's Asda store on Friday, offering shoppers advice and information, competitions, goodie bags and prizes.

Paula George, waste campaign officer for the Green Box recycling scheme at Wear Valley District Council, said: "Reducing, reusing and recycling is important for our environment.

"The scheme offers a convenient way for residents to recycle at home."
