Village Recycling Update

The recycling bins for tetrapaks and aluminium foil items are moving from Redlands Yard to the Comrades Hall car park.

  • Please take your recycling there from now on.
  • Please don’t put any other items in these bins – it is very unpleasant for volunteers!!

…Talking of which they urgently need more. Recently, two volunteers have left and now there are slots for the upcoming months not covered.

If you are able, please help. It isn’t difficult or time consuming… a trip to Bridport. What it does mean is that this service, which is so important, can remain local.

Recycling At Redlands Yard

A message from Jackie Riley:

The recycling of tetrapaks and aluminium items has been going on for some years now with the help of six sets of volunteers managing a month every six months and has largely been working well with backup from Tony and I.

Recently I received a complaint as the bins were overflowing.  It is vital if you cannot manage your month or even some of it to let me know so I can either swop you with someone else or step in and help. If this doesn’t happen then we have the situation we had last week with tetrapaks everywhere and a very unsightly situation. It is also a potential attraction to vermin even more concerning.

I would be delighted to receive the offer of help from more people so I have a bank of people to provide back up.  All it entails is weekly emptying of both bins and at the end of your month a trip to Bridport recycling when you are heading that way to be environmentally friendly.   Provision of two large bin bags and that is it!

Pegs have been provided to ensure the bin bags stay secure.

Many thanks for any offers of help in advance.  This benefits us all and the planet.

Please Visit Wooly Wonders At Redlands Yard

Kirsty has had her Wooly Wonders unit at Redlands Yard since last June but is already threatened with closure due to lack of customers.
Redlands Yard showed their support by posting this message:

Our wonderful yarn shop here at Redlands Yard is proving popular on social media and with knitting stalwarts, but the current level of custom is not high enough to sustain Wooly Wonders as a business. We love having Kirsty here, with her fantastic knowledge and extensively stocked shop full of yarns and accessories, and we are keen to support niche businesses and interests such as this. However, if custom does not pick up, the shop will have to close. If you would like to see it stay open, please come along and support this excellent enterprise. Thank you.

Kirsty also posted on social media:

If you can support us, please do. We love our new home and would be sad to have to leave. A huge thank you to Redlands Yard for all your help and support.
Team Wooly
