Next stop: Dumfries!

For the next stage of my trip across the length and breadth of Scotland to spread the word about the importance of recycling, I stopped off at Palmerston Park in Dumfries, home of Queen of the South FC.

I was greeted by players Jim Thomson and Paul Burns, as well as pupils from Laurieknowe Primary School: Josh Jamieson, Chloe Cain, Abbi Kirk, Aidan Nicol and Calvin Cunningham.

They made me feel very welcome and I was delighted to meet them.

In just five years, Dumfries and Galloway has almost halved the amount of waste sent to landfill, with over 36% of waste recycled and composted last year.

A whopping 767 tonnes of waste electrical items were recycled by people across the region last year, too!

I’ll be stopping off at another sporting location south of the Central Belt for my next visit. This time, though, it won’t be footballers I’ll be meeting…

Can you guess where I'll be next? For more clues, follow me on Twitter or visit my page on Facebook. By guessing correctly, you could be in with a chance of winning a food hamper worth £100!
