A 10-year-old girl has become a “bin-fluencer”, after learning about the importance of recycling. Amelia wrote a letter to Swindon Borough Council to ask about why plastic bags, wrapping and films cannot be recycled on the kerbside. In response, the council invited her and her family to Swindon’s recycling centre—and named Amelia a “bin-fluencer” for spreading the word about the importance of recycling. “I find it quite cool how I started off just writing a letter and the word bin-fluencer got spread quite quickly,” Amelia said. The child said her first impression of the recycling centre was that she did not expect there to be “so much”. “I think about whether I should put stuff in the bin or recycle more now,” she added. “I think if people came here they’d realize all the things we can recycle.”
