- Cans (Food tins an aluminum cans)
- Paper (Newspapers, magazines, office paper, Junk Mail, Envelopes)

England is one of the worst recyclers of the developed nations, according to an international league table. We lie in 18th in the table, which is a comparison of the recycling rate in different countries, and how different countries recycle.
With that being said we are focusing on improving our impact on the planet.
We have recently received funding from Sport England of £243,000. This will be spent on the installation of solar panels and more efficient showers. Making Windrush more energy efficient. Meaning we would not only reduce costs but also carbon emissions.
One of our values at GLL is Respecting The Planet. We are reducing our impact on the environment through actions such as less reliance on fossil fuels and minimising waste; and working closely on joint actions with our local authority partners.
