Meeting at the recycling plant.

At the recycling plant, it was evident that a lot of time and effort (and money) had been spent to make the plant fun and educational to the children/visitors.

This, I believe was one of the key points to make Wrexham in Bloom work. Fun and educational. People don't want to be talked at, and people seem to enjoy learning and remember more when it's fun. Long texts, of boring jargon are easily ignored. Bright characters, bold colours and minimal text.

Recycle with Michael. The councils mascot.

The councils own personal character 'Michael Recycle' is apparently very popular with the younger children. We are also allowed to use the character in our Bloom ideas.

But has he been used before?
