A FREE reminder to cut down on waste is being offered to every home in County Durham.
Durham County Council is urging residents to make a New Year's resolution to recycle more and is offering a free fridge magnet to every home in the county as a reminder.
Councillor Bryan Myers said: "About three million tonnes of rubbish was created in Britain this Christmas, which is equivalent to 400,000 double-decker buses.
"If they were parked bumper to bumper, they would stretch from County Durham to Lapland and back. More than half of this waste could be recycled but about 90 per cent of it will be thrown away by people."
For a free fridge magnet, please call 0191-383 3828.
