STAND UP AND BE COUNTED – LIAPADES, CORFUSTAND UP AND BE COUNTED – LIAPADES, CORFU

Info

WHAT will be done

Description:

Private citizens (volunteers) in Liapades, Corfu operate a Recycling and Reuse Centre as there is no municipal recycling service in our part of Corfu. We have over 1000 members in our recycling group, most of whom use the Recycling and Reuse Centre. We separate and recycle 16 types of material and operate a second-hand shop to encourage the reuse of products. Most items at the shop are free, but if customers make a cash donation, we use the money to buy items for local charities and appeals.

We also encourage a circular community by organising events such as litter pick ups, school awareness sessions and recognition schemes to encourage better management of waste in our community.

The European Week for Waste Reduction 2021 provides a great platform for us to encourage more people in our locality to participate in reuse and recycling. We will publicize EWWR and ask people to “Stand Up and Be Counted” – Standing up to waste by reusing and recycling at the Recycling Centre during EWWR. We will take photographs of everyone reusing and recycling during the week and create a photographic collage. This will be a visual record of those citizens who have chosen to reuse and recycle in order to reduce what goes to Landfill.

We will use this EWWR collage in our future awareness activities to encourage other people to Stand Up and Be Counted.
