Waste Awareness Countywide Campaign - Help to Reduce, Re-use and Recycle your Rubbish Britain is often thought of as lagging behind our European neighbours when it comes to environmental issues. But Durham County Council is aiming to catch up to our continental cousins with the introduction of a range of projects to help us all be a bit more environmentally friendly. In partnership with the district councils the County Council is holding a County-wide waste awareness programme to get us all thinking about what we do with our rubbish. Find out more from our press release about the campaign. For further information on the fantastic 60 day home composting promotion please visit our Countywide Composting Promotion page. Watch out for the following bus advertising hitting the streets of County Durham and Darlington from 14th July 2003. Watch out for the Roadshow in your area and help trim your bin! A major waste awareness campaign hits the road this summer with eight days of events to help householders trim their bin. Residents can go along to find out how and where they can recycle their rubbish and get hints and tips on the best ways to reduce how much they throw away. The events will be run by Durham County Council with help from County Durham Environmental Trust. The roadshow will call between 10am - 4pm at: Durham City - Millennium Square - Saturday 2nd August, 2003 Easington - Dalton Flats Car Park - Sunday 3rd August, 2003 Darlington - Market Square - Monday 4th August, 2003 Wear Valley - Opposite Crook Market Place - Tuesday August 5, 2003 Teesdale, Galgate Car Park, Barnard Castle- Wednesday August 6, 2003 Derwentside, Safeway Car Park - Thursday August 7, 2003 Chester-le-Street, near the Market Place - Friday August 8, 2003 Sedgefield, Aycliffe Shopping Centre, Saturday August 9, 2003 For further information on how you can Rethink Rubbish and for advice on how to reduce, re-use and recycle your waste see our reduce and recycle waste page.
