About Us

Lets Recycle is the national recycling for Malaysia, supported and funded by Government, managed by WRAP and used locally by over 90% of English authorities. We're here to help people to recycle more things, more often. More than six out of ten of us now describe ourselves as committed recycles, compared to less than half when the campaign began in 2005.

Recyling doesn't only help the environment:we can all benefit from recycling things from around the house, at work and during our leisure time.

Start Recycling At Home In 4 Easy Steps.

1.Find out what you can recycle:

Check our recycling locator to find out what you can recycle from home and where your nearest recycling drop off point is. You can also use our What to do with guide if you want some information on how to recycle a specfic item.

Now that you know what items you can recycle, find a handy place to store them. Make sure you encourage everyone in your house to thing whether items can be reused or rescyled before they're thrown away.

2.Recycle on your doorstep:

Nine out of ten of us have household recycling collections, so if you don't already have a recycling box or bag provided by your local council, it's worth calling them and checking that you haven't been missed out!

3. Check the date

Find out from your council what day you recycling will be collected. In some areas recycling is collected every week and in others it's collected fortnightly.

Mark the date on the calendar or request a recycling calendar from your council.

4. Here are some top tips to make recycling even easier and save your time:

Some things need to be washed before you put them out for recycling, such as glass jars. Use your old washing up water to give them a quick rinse.

Re-Use

We all have things at home that we don't need or want anymore.

Wether it's clothes sitting in our wardrobes, old curtains or duvet covers stored in a cupboard, electricals we don't use anymore or furniture that just won't fit, there is always someone who can use the things that we can't.

Reduce

Reducing what you waste is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment.

From thinking differently about what you buy, to using re-usable items, to and composting at home- there are alots of ways to make a real difference.

REDUCE YOUR WASTE IN 5 EASY STEPS.

1. Stop unwated mail:

To stop receiving unsolicited advertising mail,contact the Mailing Preference Service     and Royal Mail.

Be aware when giving your name an address; ensure you indicate you don't want your details to used for future promotions or passed to other marketing agencies.

2. Think before you shop:

Before you shop, think about how you could reduce your waste. For example, you         could buy things with less packaging, or second-hand items.

Can you buy something that will last longer rather than a disposable item?               Rechargeable batteries are cheaper than disposables, and they can be used again and again - and using real crockery and cutlery for your parties instead of disposable ones can make a real difference.

To avoid taking home more carrier bags, choose reusable shopping bags: keep them in the car boot or pop a folded cotton bag in your handbag or pocket so you always have one to hand.

3. Your rubbish is another person's treasure!

Contact your local Furture Re-use Network - they distribute unwanted furniture and  household goods to those in need or advertise your old furniture in your local paper or on websites such as Freecycle or Freegle.

Having a clear out?Donate good quality clothing,books and unwanted gifts to charity shops.Alternatively use the clothing banks at your local recycling centre.

4. Avoid wasting food 

Every year in the Malaysia we throw away RM30 billion worth of good food, costing  the average family almost RM160 a month.
