Audlem prize in Council competition

One lucky member of the public has won a brand new bicycle from Audlem Cycle Sport – thanks to a Cheshire East Council competition to promote its ‘Think Silver, Think Recycling’ campaign.               

The Council hosted a series of roadshow events across the Borough in May. And all those who attended were able to fill in a postcard with their name and contact details to enter a competition to win vouchers for a bike worth up to £350, from Audlem Cycle Sport, donated by recycling firm UPM. 

The vouchers were won by Ben Entwistle, from Crewe, who was delighted with his green-themed prize. 

The roadshows helped to promote the authority’s recently launched ‘Think Silver, Think Recycling’ campaign, which allows residents to use the silver bin for all of their recycling.  

In Crewe and Nantwich areas, where the silver bin is already in use, additional items such as glass, mixed plastics, foil and cartons can now be recycled. 

The roadshows allowed residents to get more information about the new system from officers, who provided help and assistance answering residents’ questions. 

Visitors to the roadshow were greeted by the ‘Think Silver, Think Recycling’ trailer, containing information on the recycling scheme. A giant wheelie-bin mascot kept children entertained so that parents could chat to officers or look at photos of the materials recovery facility at Shotton, illustrating how recycling is processed.
