Media coverage

Our work is all about building a movement to help Leeds become a zero waste city by 2030. To do this we're constantly trying to find new ways to reach different audiences. Getting media coverage is always a huge bonus!

We have featured a lot recently for our work on recycling, waste reduction, and school uniform reuse, including several appearances on BBC Look North, BBC Radio Leeds, Radio Aire and the Yorkshire Evening Post.

If you are interested in running a story about any of our work, please do get in touch!
