About Junk Mail:
• 550,000 tonnes of junk mail is generated in the UK every year.
• The average household receives 440 pieces of junk mail every year.
• 6 trees are used to produce 1 tonne of junk mail.
• That means that every year 3,300,000 trees are cut down to produce 550,000 tonnes of junk mail.
• Most of the junk mail that is delivered ends up in landfill sites instead of being recycled.
• Don’t forget, if you do receive junk mail, it can be recycled through your kerbside recycling box or at local recycling banks.
