Recycle for Manchester on Facebook
Greetings,
It came to my attention yesterday that Recycle for Greater Manchester have a Facebook Page.
I have had a few things to say on my personal blog about social media in the waste industry but here I am just saying this is good!
I am not suggesting you 'Like' the Page or otherwise, I am merely pointing out the fact that it exists on the well known social network because until yesterday I was unaware of that fact.
For the sake of disclosure I will tell you I have not yet liked the Page. If they had a vid of Dave Spikey in Phoenix Nights on the Page I think I would have liked it by now!
Onwards & upwards!
Joe
