## **Let's get it right in Nottinghamshire** 

We know people in Nottinghamshire want to do the right thing and with 9 out of 10 people in the UK regularly recycling we can be proud of what we're achieving together.

Today, recycling has become an automatic habit for most people but as recycling rates have risen so has the amount of contamination in the recycling system. Put simply, contamination is putting something in your recycling bin that can't be recycled locally.

Let's get it right is all about helping Nottinghamshire understand what can and can't be recycled in our County.
