PERSONAL Protective Equipment should not be recycled.
In efforts to ensure the Lake District is kept tidy, Cumbria County Council has urged the public to take their litter home.
However, masks are not meant for recycling and cannot be re-used. “Don’t destroy what you’ve come to enjoy," said a spokesman. "Take your litter home to throw away or recycle and protect our outdoor spaces. Remember to throw your PPE in the bin – not the recycling.”
