This Week is #RecycleWeek2020

Recycle!

It’s Recycle Week 2020! (21 – 27 September). Wherever you live. Wherever you call home. 89% of us recycle. Keep doing your bit. This year and every year.
In Broadwindsor,

  • there are recycling bins are at Redlands Yard  for tetrapaks and aluminium foil respectively.
  • there are recycling bins for crisp packets at Bernards’ Place and outside the school.
  • there are two large clothes recycling banks, also outside of the school.

Please remember to wash and crush your tetrapaks or the bins will fill up too quickly.  Please don’t put an item in the recycling bin if it’s not meant to go in there – the volunteers then have the undesirable job of having to sort through it all!

The local Eco-Group would welcome new volunteers to empty the two bins by Redlands Yard.  It needs emptied weekly and a monthly visit to Bridport Recycling Centre.  There is a rota, but more help is always welcome.  Usually a volunteer will have two dates allocated. All that is required are three black bin bags: one for aluminium and two for tetrapaks. Please contact Jackie Riley HERE or call her on 01308 868949.
