Waste for recyclingA video has been launched by Northumberland County Council to help it meet demanding Government recycling targets.

The tutorial video (watch below) shows Northumberland County Council's new recycling centre in action and helps residents understand what can and can't be put into the recycling bin.

In Northumberland the council is responsible for collecting waste from more than 140,000 households as well as thousands of business premises.

A selection of some of the images added so far to our Your Place Northumberland group on the photo-sharing website Flickr.

If you've been out and about at events or scenic places in the county with a camera, why not join the group and add your own?


You can view the group, and more pictures by these photographers, at www.flickr.com/groups/northumberlandcommunities/.

Photos you would like to share on the Journal Extra pictures page can also be sent to northumberland@ncjmedia.co.uk.
