The Big Recycling Survey

Ever wondered what bin to use? Do you feel you have one too many bins? Recycle for Greater Manchester have launched a quick survey to understand how everyone recycles, what works, what gets in the way, and what would make it easier.

If you live in Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside or Trafford we want your opinions. Although part of Greater Manchester, Wigan has its own waste disposal so this survey will not be relevant to Wigan residents.
