Eco champion Rhys Cycle has been on a whirlwind tour of Rhondda Cynon Taf with visits to schools and scout groups to spread the message of how to recycle and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.
Accompanied by members of the Council’s Streetcare Awareness Team Rhys visited Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Bronllwyn in Gelli, Tonyrefail Cub Scout Group and St Margaret’s RC School in Aberdare.
Rhys was delighted to hear that the youngsters are not only keen recyclers, but also enjoy visiting his award-winning website, The World of Rhys Cycle which can be found at www.rhyscycle.co.uk.
Everyone in Rhondda Cynon Taf can recycle from home through the kerbside recycling scheme. Recycling bags can be obtained free from your collection crew or by calling 01443 494700. You can also pick them up from libraries, Communities First offices or the Council’s One4All centres or alternatively leave a sticker/note on your bags requesting more before you run out.
