Collection days may vary over holiday periods; notice is given of the change at the preceding collection. Should collections otherwise not happen, "Streetcare" can be contacted by telephone on 01635 519 080 (office hours) The "tip" at Pinchington Lane in Newbury now has recycling facilities for Furniture Scrap Metal Used Oil
Clothing Cardboard and other paper and the staff are helpful, both at ensuring recyclable items go to the right section and at getting things out of cars! For Green Waste try composting; if you need to learn about it, look at the West Berks site http://www.westberks.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3457 where they will sell you a composting bin at a subsidised price, the RecycleNow site http://www.recyclenow.com/compost/ and the RHS site http://www.rhs.org.uk/Learning/research/horticultural_themes/composting.asp (both links available off West Berks too). A further means of recycling is "Freecycle", which is an Internet and email-based means of "rehoming" items that you no longer want, and perhaps obtaining something that someone else has no further use for. Our area is covered by "Newbury Freecycle" - this "Group" is hosted by "Yahoo" and can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newburyfreecycle/ |
