Recycling

Here in North Wiltshire we are trying to do what we can to help householders to help the Environment by providing as much recycling resource and information as possible.

The District Council have recently launched a new initiative for food waste, with Food Digesters offered at discount prices subsidised by the council. Click the link below for more information:

They have also started a scheme for collecting ‘Green Waste’ this is done with a fortnightly collection of waste stored in ‘Brown Bins’ at a cost of £25 a year for one bin and £35 a year for two.
