The Terracycle recycling scheme is going really well. We are collecting lots of plastic that is being sent to be recycled rather than going into general waste.
However, the bin is requiring a bit of sorting out due to items being placed in it that are not suitable for any of the Terracycle schemes. For example, we cannot take plastic bags from fruit and vegetables or plastic trays.
The top five items are:
· Crisp packets
· Bread packets
· Cheese packets
· Medicine packets
· Plastic confectionery/chocolate wrappers
For any other items, please check the Terracycle list first – this can be found on our website – https://allendalechurch.co.uk/recycle/ with lots of other information.
Many thanks for all of your efforts with this. Please encourage your friends and family to start collecting as well. You don’t have to try everything at once – maybe just pick one waste stream and start with that. Please ask if you have any questions about the scheme.
