It's time to Slim Your Bin
Slim Your Bin helps residents of Warwickshire to waste less and recycle more in order to slim their rubbish bins. By slimming your bin, you'll help to shrink your environmental impact and save money at the same time.
The more you do to Slim Your Bin, the more you can win for a local charity and the more chance you'll have of winning vouchers for yourself.
