Epworth pair win £20 voucher in recycling competition

The competition was to guess the number of small WEEE items that were inside a container.

For each event, the resident that guessed the nearest answer won a £20 voucher. The prizes have been donated by REPIC, the councils approved contractor for electrical waste.

The winners are:

Sue Shields – Messingham

Janet Coambe – Scunthorpe

Rebecca Snowden – Scunthorpe

Stephanie Toon – Scunthorpe

Rebecca Turner – Epworth

Peter May – Scunthorpe

Sarah Anderson – Scunthorpe

Betty Facer – Epworth

Susan Simpson – Messingham

The competition was to promote the recycling of small WEEE such as telephones, chargers, toasters, kettles, torches, mobiles by households. These can be placed in a standard supermarket carrier bag next to your blue and green recycling boxes for collection.

A spokesman said: “Unfortunately we are unable to take items like TV’s and monitors or any item too big to fit into a carrier bag. We can take these through our bulky household item collection service (http://www.northlincs.gov.uk/bins-waste-recycling/additional-waste-services/bulky-collections/) or alternatively these items can be recycled at any of the eight Household Recycling Centres.”
