Welcome to the information website for the Black Country Recycling Consortium.
Make sure that all electrical items are switched off before you go to bed DID YOU KNOW that leaving a television on standby power overnight uses as much energy as your entire evenings viewing? Recycling one plastic bottle saves enough energy to run a 60-watt light bulb for 6 hours
Fridges: Don't leave the door open for longer than necessary, cold air escapes. Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the fridge by allowing it to cool down first. Defrost your freezer regularly to keep it running efficiently and cheaply. If it tends to frost up quickly, check the door seal. And if you have your fridge next to a cooker or boiler, leave a good gap between them.
