Scrapzilla - The Birth of the Bristol Rubbish Monster

recycling news - the recycling consortium: "The Birth of the Bristol Rubbish Monster
Also known as Scrapzilla, the Bristol Rubbish Monster has been developed by the Recycling Consortium (TRC) to persuade Bristolians to reduce, reuse and recycle more. Scrapzilla represents the volume of rubbish that Bristol sends to landfill in one month, a staggering 71,000 cubic metres, which is 14,200 tonnes.
He has been taking centre stage at local events, drawing the crowds and highlighting the issue of waste. TRC's Action on Waste staff explain to the public that in one month he will double his size, and in three months he will weigh as much as the Titanic. To stop him growing bigger, everyone needs to reduce, reuse and recycle more than ever!.
TRC hopes that with additional funding, Scrapzilla could move on from his present 2-Dimensional form, to become a gigantic 3-D showstopper!!"
