The Children's Heartbeat Trust and Bryson Recycling recently teamed up to urge householders to increase recycling levels by thinking about items that get forgotten about when recycling at home.

A number of local companies have partnered with Bryson Recycling in pledging to donate £1 to Children's Heartbeat Trust for every tonne of paper, glass and plastic collected through Bryson's weekly kerbside recycling service. The money donated will support the Charity to continue to provide practical and emotional support to children who suffer from heart conditions.

Bryson Recycling carries out weekly collection services to more than 170,000 households in Northern Ireland across five council areas; Antrim & Newtownabbey, Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon, Belfast, Lisburn and Castlereagh and Mid & East Antrim.

Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson said: "I would encourage everyone to think a little more about their recycling and how they approach disposing of their household waste. Recycling makes a real difference to our environment and economy."
