If you have a passion for recycling like myself and enjoy going to music festivals then I may know of the perfect opportunity for you to help promote recycling this summer. Reading festival are looking for volunteers to help promote their recycling initiatives at the festival in August. Check out their website http://www.readingfestival.com/info/index.aspx?id=406 I have just submitted my form so fingers crossed!

How did recycling week go for you? Did you manage to recycle unwanted electrical items? I took an unwanted TV to my local British Heart Foundation, and I borrowed a lawnmower from my Dad instead of buying a new one. Please don’t forget to recycle all your unwanted electrical items at your nearest BHF shop it’s for a good cause too!

This year Recycle Week will take place between 21 – 27 June. The focus  this year will be on small waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). People are going to be encouraged to recycle their electical equipment as well as making a pledge to hire, borrow and reuse items instead of buying electrical products in the future. http://www.recyclenow.com/

British Heart Foundation are the charity partner teaming up with recycle now to promote recycling week. Our nearest BHF furniture and Electrical store is at: 40-41 White Rock, Hastings.

Garden waste collections.

The good weather which we have recently recieved, has seen the increased usage of the garden waste wheelie bins. This is great news, last week we collected 271.4 tonnes of garden waste, which meant we recycled 48.2% of  waste produced.  Keep up the good work Rother!
