Rethinking Rubbish – in action!

Special recycling morning at Not Just Sundaes in Wareham

Saturday 2nd November 10.30 am – 11.30 am

Have you ever wanted to recycle more than the stuff you regularly put in your household bins that get collected by the council? Would you like to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill?

If the answer to these questions is YES, community group Sustainable Wareham are here to help!  As a special pilot they will collect a whole range of items, in collaboration with Win on Waste.  So have a look through your waste destined for the landfill and they will gladly take them from you, and can guarantee that (unlike much soft plastic ‘recycling’), they won’t end up being incinerated.  

Just come along to Not Just Sundaes on Saturday morning 2nd November – it’s just across the road from the Market at Wareham Quay. Have a cup of tea or coffee and some homemade cake.  If the event is successful – Sustainable Wareham hope to make it a regular feature – which will also support local community café Not Just Sundaes which has recently re-opened and is keen to support community events.

Here’s what to bring along to Sustainable Wareham’s recycling morning …

Babybel Wrappers

Cheese Wrappers

Corks (wine, champagne etc)

Dental Waste – plastic toothbrushes, electric toothbrush heads, interdental brushes

Greetings Cards

Keys and Padlocks

Make Up (empty)

Marigold type rubber gloves and packaging

Mobile Phones

Plastic Lunchboxes & Drinks Bottles (rigid type, refillable bottles, not the sort that go into your regular collection)

Printer ink cartridges

Stamps & Coins

Watches & Jewellery – even broken

Wires, cables and chargers

Yeo Valley “Yeo Tokens” unredeemed

Many of these items are recycled through Win on Waste’s connections with Terracycle, and others, like the stamps, old cables and greetings cards are used to raise money for charities.
