LET'S PUT WASTE IN ITS PLACE
Recycling in West Berkshire

Recent analysis conducted by West Berkshire shows that 42% of the waste in household black bins could have been recycled using the kerbside services provided - including food waste, cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals. This highlights a significant opportunity for residents to recycle more and waste less. Check your kerbside recycling and let's recycle more!

Did you know that residents in West Berkshire can recycle textiles from the kerbside? Items should be reused where possible - consider mending, upcycling into new items, donating to charity/friends/family or recycling into new materials.

Please put your textiles out in a clear or white sack labelled as 'textiles' next to your green boxes and bag. You can find out more about what can be recycled within West Berkshire here: www.westberks.gov.uk/recyclingcollection

TIPS FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE GARDEN
Purley Sustainable Group

As we move into Spring, Purley Sustainability Group (PSG) has some garden sustainability tips to consider: 

Remember, gardening can be enjoyed regardless of the size of your space.  Also, you will receive the benefits of sunshine, exercise and social interaction.

Have a plan: check out Library of Things or second-hand shops and local websites too.  Try to find items that are sustainably made, easily recycled or biodegradable, and where possible avoid plastic! 

Be water-wise: Rainwater is better for plants than treated tap water. It's also cheaper and healthier for your plants too. Install a water butt!  

Reduce waste: Your pile of fallen leaves can be used as mulch and also help add nutrients back to aid soil health.  Remember grass clippings and plant waste can go on the compost heap or in your Green Bin (if you subscribe to the service in West Berkshire). Keep garden green waste away from ponds, ditches, rivers and waterways.

Your lawn can help! A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife, tackles pollution and can even lock away carbon below ground. The nectar-rich flowers are loved by bees and butterflies and the seeds are eaten by small birds. 

Mow lawns less often: Reducing your lawn cuts allows grass to grow a little longer, which will protect the soil and soil organisms from heat and also helps protect the grass roots, so they may look greener all summer! 

Grow your own food and cut flowers: Some of the fruit, veg and flowers in the shops have an astonishing carbon footprint. You can reduce your impact by growing your own, even in small spaces. 

Avoid chemicals & pesticides: Chemicals damage soil health, pollute water sources and harm a whole host of wildlife.  Try to create a balanced ecosystem in your garden, offering food, shelter and plants that attract wildlife throughout the food chain. 

Grow your knowledge: Talk to neighbours and friends, they may know the answers you are looking for, equally you may be able to help them.
