Recycle Coach
Introducing Recycle Coach
Recycle Coach helps your residents to recycle with up-to-date bin calendars, recycling tips and automated reminders. It’s free for residents and for councils and you don’t need to use a Bartec waste management system to get involved!
The Challenge
Simpler Recycling aims to make recycling across England consistent and convenient for the public. For many, it will change the way their waste is collected.
However, this is not the only change in store. Local Government Reorganisation and Deposit Return Schemes will bring further change to your residents.
Did you know…
WRAP’s recycling tracker revealed that
- 81% of residents are putting non-recyclable items in recycling bins
- Over three in four (79%) UK residents reported that they dispose of recyclable materials in general rubbish
- Slightly less than two in five (37%) received information from their council in 2024/25 on what can and cannot be recycled
- Those who did receive communication, report higher confidence in their recycling efforts and perceive recycling as more worthwhile
- Less than one in ten (9%) UK citizens feel “very confident” about what can and cannot be recycled, with the majority (58%) only “mostly confident”
