I agree with Mary, it’s not only up to the reader. When you don’t have to pay for something, you naturally care less about where it ends up once you’re finished with it. I would suggest that the public transport takes more responsiblity for recycling the Metro, they have to be cleaned each day so why not have a seperate bin for recyclable goods? Or better yet, supply bins for the readers to put the papers in.

THis is a good start to encourage to take their metro home and recycle them, but why the onus on the individual, surely metro needs to take some responsibility for recycling the newspaper. For example they could put bins in areas and so when the daily delivery of Metros arrive the drivers take those recycled metros away with them, maximising use to the vans used to deliver the metro? Or at least paying for bins allowing people to recycle them? I am sure that Metro could get an arrangement with Biffa.

This campaign is good – it always annoy me when I see train attendants just chucking the unwanted Metros into the rubbish bags.
