Triple R (or R³) stands for Reduce Reuse Recycle. This is a series of caches placed close to recycling centres and points. An opportunity for you to recycle while geocaching, or cache while recycling whichever comes first. Let's bring the great CITO initiative one step further.
The related web page contains all you need to know about what, how and where to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Did you know that:
The majority of the Scottish councils failed to meet the national target to recycle 50% of household waste by 2012. The government target rates outlined in the Zero Waste Plan are set to 60% by 2020, rising to 70% by 2025.
Anyone who wishes to help this series grow, please feel free to use the R³ name and place similarly themed caches at your local recycling centres.
