Warsaw Recycling Days see residents swap rubbish for plants

During the Warsaw Recycling Days, residents of all districts in the Polish capital were able to swap rubbish - such as electronic waste, plastic, metal, paper, glass and batteries - for shrub, flower and herb seedlings.

Through the event, which took place on 13 May, 30 thousand plants were exchanged for over 24 tonnes of segregated waste. The event also saw residents collect in excess of 62 tonnes of electronic waste and around 6 tonnes of batteries. This marks a significant increase from last year's event, which saw 47 tonnes of electronic waste collected.

The Warsaw Recycling Days is an annual event aimed at promoting environmentally friendly attitudes and showing the residents of Warsaw that recycling is an opportunity for the balanced management of limited resources.
