Recycle Week is well under way and it aims to get us thinking about whether we could all recycle more.

Perhaps we could take a lesson or two from these green-thinking people who made good use of everything from paper bags to Christmas cards in the past.

We’ve got archive photos from St Bega’s School, Middleton Grange Shopping Centre, St Helen’s Primary and the Manor West Centre.

Take a look.
