We’re looking forward to the start of Recycle Week, especially as our inaugural Recycling Awards event takes place on Friday 16th. Certificates will be presented to individuals and organisations who make a big difference when it comes to cutting down on waste and recycling.  There will also be presentations and films.

On Saturday 17th we are running three Win-on-Waste sessions in: Canford Heath, Creekmoor and for the first time, in Southbourne which is being co-ordinated by one of our wonderful Recycling Ambassadors, Sarah.  Win on Waste sessions offer residents the opportunity to save specific items from their rubbish/recycling each month and donate them at given venues.  If you would like to take part in any of the sessions please contact Monique for further details: 07771 705662.

Throughout the week, Branksome Library will be hosting a collection box for library visitors to drop off any biscuit wrappers or cleaning product items such as washing-up liquid tops, sprays, pumps and disinfectant wipe packets.  All these will be crushed up and made into new plastic. The money raised will help us with our fundraising.
