Children’s artwork inspiring others to recycle

Eagle-eyed residents will now be able to spot some brand new and inspiring designs on the side of the recycling vehicles.

Earlier this year, the Council encouraged children and young people to send in drawings and artwork showing what recycling means to them, with the winning images being printed and put on the side of the recycling vehicles.

Over 100 entries were received from schools, community groups and individuals, with a whole range of colourful and inspiring designs showing the importance of recycling and its positive impact on the environment.

Ten winners were chosen in various styles, also featuring poetry and even a dolphin!

Councillor Will Roberts, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhood, said: “It was great to visit the Biffa depot and see these fantastic designs on the vehicles up-close. I’d like to thank everyone who submitted a drawing and took the time to think about what recycling means to them, and why it’s so important.”

All winning entries can be seen on the Councils website at www.warwickdc.gov.uk/recyclingcompetition as well as on the side of each recycling vehicle.

Residents can keep up to date with their collection dates, find out where and how to recycle different materials and report a missed collection all in one place on the Warwick District Council app – www.warwickdc.gov.uk/app
