An Exeter resident has won £200 in a prize draw aimed at encouraging people to recycle more.
Marie Pistorius won the cash after she took her earthenware slow cooker to Pinbrook Road Recycling Centre’s shop for reuse.

The prizes were sponsored by the Waste Electronic & Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Industry’s Distributor Takeback Scheme.
