Recycle for Manchester

We are the organisation to encourage the people of Greater Manchester to recycle more and recycle better.

The community we live and work in needs to appreciate waste as a valuable resource. We have to recycle it. We all need to lead the way, to drive it forward and take the initiative.

Visit one of our Education Centres to learn about what happens to your recycling and waste in Greater Manchester

See your waste in action. Find out where your waste from home is recycled, made into compost or even turned into electricity!

Visits are FREE for all schools and community groups in Greater Manchester.

Go to our Learning Resources to download our FREE education resource to support a topic on waste and recycling. It’s packed full of ideas and activities.
