A COUNCIL and a supermarket are teaming up to try to get people to recycle more.
Durham County Council and Sainsbury’s are working together to promote the national recycling campaign Good to Know.
It is trying to get people who already recycle to do a little bit more.
Sainsbury’s in the Arnison Centre in Durham is hosting a roadshow on Saturday, July 2.
Alan Patrickson, the council’s head of projects and business services, said: “The Good to Know campaign will help people who already recycle do a little bit more - identifying new materials which can be recycled and items they may not have thought of.
“We are delighted to be working with Durham Sainsbury's on the campaign.”
Items commonly thrown out as general waste instead of recycling include deodorant aerosol cans, bleach and household cleaner bottles and chocolate tins.
