recycle more

They have written to the council on my behalf, enclosing a copy of my original letter. That’s good news! Although the letter goes something like “One of our residents is making a fuss, please sort them out”! Hopefully there will be a response from the council which I will be copied in on. It may be that I am able to get a couple of individual recycling boxes, which I’d be really pleased about.

I have written a letter to our management agents, which I shall post tomorrow, asking them if they would be able to contact the council to see if the range of recycling services to our flat can be extended. I’ve also started a collection point for glass (only 2 items so far!) and newspapers/magazines/catalogues.

I already recycle my newspaper. I think that the next item to look at is glass. We get through very little, so I can stack it up for a bit while I find the best bottle bank, I know that there is one outside Domino’s, where we are regular customers!

There is also a recycling bin for magazines and other shiny paper on my way in to work, so I need to set up a collection point in the flat and drop a bit off every time we walk in.

I have found out that the council will take recycling from flats, in co-operation with the management agents. So the next thing to do will be to contact them to find out if they are willing to expand the recycling options for our flats.

Living in a flat, we don’t get the same recycling boxes as the rest of the town. We only have a bin for newspapers, don’t think it even takes other types of paper. I obviously need to make more of an effort. I will start looking out for and investigating the facilities locally.
