Councillor Neil Swannick, Chair of Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority said “Watch Your Waste Week is all about style and fashion to encourage residents to think re-use. With Greater Manchester generating 1.1 million tonnes of waste last year, we are looking at innovative ways to encourage residents to think about reducing their waste by re-using unwanted items in new ways.”
