Competition to promote glass recycling in Nairn extended

There is still just time for householders in Nairn and the surrounding area to enter The Highland Council’s free glass recycling competition with three £20 gift vouchers for Eden Court Theatre in Inverness to be won.

To be in with a chance to win all you need to do is email a photograph of yourself recycling your glass bottles and jars at the Nairn Recycling Point or any local bottle bank. With the Christmas season upon us  the closing date for entries has been extended until Monday 6th January which gives people plenty of opportunity to take their photo during the holidays when they are recycling extra bottles and jars.

The Highland Council has already received a number of entries from primary school pupils, who received a leaflet promoting the competition, however, the competition is open to everyone, so adults can enter as well.

Three winners will be chosen at random and will be announced in January.

Photographs should be emailed to recycle@highland.gov.uk or prints can be handed in to the Nairn Service point.

The competition is part of a campaign to promote glass recycling opportunities across the Highlands.  Some householders recycle their glass bottles, but glass jars are often forgotten about. This includes jars for sauces, jams, spices and baby foods. All glass bottles and jars can be recycled, and it’s easy to do. Just remove the lids and rinse them out before popping them into the nearest glass recycling bank.
