We'll be collecting TetraPaks and crisp packets (especially foil ones) in particular, but you can also bring toothbrushes/tubes, batteries, medicine blister packs, and bra's.

TetraPaks

We took two Builder's Bags full of flattened TetraPaks to Lowestoft Rcycling Centre in Haddenham Road on Easter Bank Holiday Monday. It was cold and drizzly.

The Centre was a bit taken aback by the quantity, and the source of the TetraPaks.

Because of this we will have to investigate, and to this end have asked the Environment Agency for advice.

Shovel-It-Yourself – Waterlane Leisure Centre, Lowestoft, Friday 12 May 10:00-15:00

A free event at which compost, processed from the material that residents separate into their garden waste bins in east Suffolk, will be given away free as a thank you to residents for recycling and closing the loop between the garden waste we generate and the compost we add to the soil and grow with. This event will help mark International Compost Awareness Week to help celebrate composting as the most sustainable way of dealing with our garden waste.
