Kill All Rubbish!

Between 01 June 2008 and 06 June 2008, in Leeds

As part of Recycling Week heavy metal band Kill All Enemies collected their rubbish for a week and opened it up to Agents4Change scrutiny!

Leeds metal sensation Kill All Enemies volunteered to try recycling. Armed with rubber gloves and strict instructions from Agent4Change Louise Rigg they were told to try recycling.

After washing all food from packaging they were instructed to save everything. When the week was over they collected all their rubbish together to assess how much of their waste could be recycled.

Kill All Enemies were shocked to realise what they had gone through. Of all the rubbish they collected over 90% of it could be recycledrtons.

Just one more thing we can recycle was the theme of this year's Recycle Week aiming to get everyone to make an effort to recycle something they usually wouldn't.

Band member Matt Thomas said: 'I have only recycled at primary school once. I have never tried it at home but it's easier than I thought and seeing how much rubbish we can produce and how much can be recycled is an eye opener. If we can do this, then everyone else can try it too.'

All the rubbish collected was then taken to a recycling centre, separated and put into the correct colour coded banks and bins. To find out more about recycling in your area and where to find your nearest recycling centre, visit your local council website.
