THINK green is the message from Penelope Lane - whose job is about more than old rubbish.
She is the borough's waste awareness and education officer and has an important message to deliver to the schoolchildren of the borough.
The post has been created by Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council to ensure youngsters think about the environment and go on doing so into adulthood.
Penelope also hopes to get the recycling message over to adults who try to do their bit but make mistakes which cost the borough dearly.
She said: 'Often people contaminate their kerb-side recycling bags because they mix in the re-usable paper, magazines and letters with materials that cannot be reused such as cardboard. This means we have to landfill the contents of the bag.
'I need to make sure residents separate their waste, making sure paper recycling bags contain only newspaper, magazines, direct mail inserts and office paper.'
She has already worked with the council on a home composting pilot project, and has been responsible for managing a composting trial.
Penelope will work closely with UPM Shotton Paper which has invested £100,000 into an educational resource for schools.
