A NEW initiative to encourage people to recycle rubbish when outside was launched this week.

The Recycle on the Go campaign is a nationwide effort to turn recycling into a natural part of everyday life and offers advice and information for people about services in their area.

The scheme was launched at London's Hyde Park where a pilot scheme has been set up and is due to be introduced in other boroughs.
