Action 139: Recycle your charger

We've teamed up with Sainsbury's to collect and recycle all the unused chargers lurking in cupboards and under beds across the country.

You can take yours into your local store and deposit in the collection box until 28 August. Sainsbury's will still be collecting them throughout September too - just take them up to customer services.

More info on our website here, plus a tally to keep track of how many have been found:

Introducing Jacques le Trash

Last week we unleashed a huge 12 meter long, 3 metre high, pink and purple dragon on picnicers at Victoria Embankment.

Jacques le Trash, is our brand new rubbish guzzling recycling dragon and he was there to help lunchers recycle their rubbish.

Paper plates, plastic bottles, tin cans and cigarette butts were collected from passersby and “fed” to Jacques, who apparently has a penchant for all things trashy. All rubbish was later recycled.

A team of mustachioed waiters accompanied the dragon, asking the crowd for donations to feed the beast and all donors marked with a dragon’s bitemark stamped onto their skin.

Kids, office workers, builders and even a traffic warden came over to gawp.

Jacques le Trash was on a sneak preview before his appearance at Bestival next month, where he will be helping festival goers recycle their rubbish. He will be collecting paper, cans and plastic bottles in different sections of his belly, plus cigarette butts will be stuffed up his bum.
