From Sat 22 April until Sat 6 May you’ll be able to recycle bottles and jars at Marks & Spencer’s Moortown store on Harrogate Road. Look for the decorated glass banks in the car park.

To celebrate the special glass banks, Friends of Glass are giving away Apple iPad Mini 2s to FIVE glass recycling heroes. Simply share a photo of you being a #RecyclingHero at ANY Leeds glass bank to be in with a chance of winning.

 

How to enter:

• Simply take a selfie or a photo of your family/friends recycling at any Leeds glass recycling bank.

• Post it on Instagram or Facebook with #RecyclingHero and tag @FriendsofGlassUK

• The five best photos will be chosen to win an Apple iPad Mini 2 after the closing date, Mon 8 May 2017.*

Good luck!
