Nine-year-old Charlotte Mulryan, from Broughton, won a competition organised by housing association Salix Homes to design a recycling poster.
Charlotte’s winning design has now been put up around the Broughton community to promote the importance of recycling.
Salix Homes is also handing out the poster to new residents in a bid to encourage them to recycle more.
Talented Charlotte said:

“I think it’s very important to recycle because I don’t like to see the streets looking messy. I also make sure my mum, dad and sister recycle at home too.
“I’m very excited to see my poster up around the area where I live and I can’t wait for my friends to see it.”
Charlotte’s poster beat off stiff competition from dozens of other entries, impressing judges from the Broughton Trust charity with its bold colours and eye-catching design.
Ben Cruickshanks, neighbourhood manager at Salix Homes, added:
Quote
“Recycling is a huge issue, particularly in Salford with the introduction of three-weekly bin collections.
“The more we can encourage people to recycle, the more we can keep that rubbish out of landfill sites and we hope that Charlotte’s fantastic design inspires more local residents to keep on recycling.”
