About us
St Helier has been collecting recyclables since 2011. In that time we have processed over 6,000 tonnes that ordinarily would have been incinerated. Recycling reduces the need for extracting, refining and processing raw materials all of which create air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.

04
Why is POSH using bags and not boxes?
One of the barriers to recycling is the lack of space to store several boxes for recyclables; therefore, we introduced bags which are easy to store. If you have a large amount of recycling you just use more bags. The bags were also seen as way of keeping the pavements clear of obstacles once collected
