The Rubbish diet challenge, Spring 2013 has got off to a flying start with 15 Shrewsbury households on Ashley St, Cherry Orchard, working together to slim their bins.
A Shropshire waste management firm has lent a helping hand to a community project that aims to raise money for charity by recycling cardboard left-over from Christmas.
Shrewsbury residents showed they care about cardboard recycling at the weekend when over 1,000 vehicles dropped off cardboard to three pop-up recycling points in the town.
