Four giant cans, which spell out ‘London Lets Recycle More’, are visiting Merton on Friday 17 December as part of the Recycle for London campaign.

London Borough of Merton has borrowed the cans from Greater London Authority (GLA). Merton Council officers will be handing out leaflets about recycling at Christmas to encourage people to make use of the facilities provided by Merton for recycling and composting.
