We deliver a range of campaigns across Greater Manchester to encourage residents to recycle right and recycle more
Meet Crumbs, our food waste kitchen caddy. They might be small, but they have a big appetite and they’re ready to be fed, from banana skins and teabags to eggshells and leftovers, they’ll happily tuck into all the bits you can’t eat. Keep Crumbs fed, give them a quick wash when they need it and they’ll help make sure your food waste is recycled instead of ending up in your general waste bin.
