Worcestershire County Council is encouraging parents to consider kitting their children out with recycled stationery for the new school term. The waste reduction team is encouraging school children to have a waste-free day by reusing their lunchbox and drinks bottle daily. It is also encouraging people to make it their mission to choose items with little or no packaging and compost their leftover apple cores and banana skins.

If you would like the chance to win one of 10 sets of cool recycled stationary, simply go to our competition page and make a pledge to have a waste-free day by telling us five key things you'll do to achieve this.

Take a look around the website for some ideas on how you can reduce your waste and have a waste-free day. Just to get you started, think about your packed lunch and try to avoid buying food and drinks with excess packaging. Think about reusing paper as scrap and then recycling it. What else could you do?
