Welcome to the Waste and Recycling Group
When energy becomes scarce in the future the removal of all our waste may not be possible, and the responsibility could fall back on the town and its individual households. Waste can be viewed as a resource for making useful items and for generating heat and power.
Give or Take Days 2011
These are organised regularly in the Memorial Hall, where unwanted items change hands without cost. This keeps tons of material out of landfill, reducing the burden on Council Tax and preserving our countryside.
Our next events are:
Sunday April 10th from 9.00 – 2.00
Goods can be delivered on Saturday April 9th From 2.00 – 4.00
Sunday October 30th from 9.00 – 2.00
Goods can be delivered on Saturday October 29th 6.00 – 8.00.
Morsbags Group
The Group meets once a month to sew shopping bags using recycled fabric, for example old curtains. The bags are then given away free to people in the town to reduce the amount of plastic bags that are used. New members are always welcome. For more information about the damage that plastic bags are doing to wildlife and the environment, why not take a look at www.morsbags.com
