- reduce the amount of single use plastic you use
- join our community clean up events (twice yearly) – join the mailing list There are free cakes and drinks afterwards!
- recycle soft plastics that cannot currently be recycled at home by taking them to your local supermarket:
Plastic films, plastic bags and wrapping, flexible plastics – whatever you call them; bread bags, frozen food bags, crisp packets or pet food pouches, loo roll wrap or chocolate wrappers. Put a bag or box by your recycling, pop them in there rather than in the bin.
