With apologies for the length of time since the last post, let me give an update. March 20th saw the government announce a lockdown as we all know.

Food caddy bags – it’s a mystery…
When I find something that doesn’t make sense, I wonder if I am the only person who thinks this way. See what you think… I have found out recently that something most of us do in good faith is a) a complete waste of money and b) contributing to landfill mass that I thought we Read more about Food caddy bags – it’s a mystery…[…]

Today Councillors with an interest in waste and recycling went along for a trip around East Devon’s RRC at Greendale.

No Butts ‘Competition’, from Dukes, Sidmouth March 23rd 2019
Not surprisingly, we didn’t have a big crowd for this not-very-attractive test that Anna B and I came up with.

Thank you, you beauties! About 75 people collected 4 full non-recyclable bags and 1 each of glass, plastic and tins.
