the recycling bin


​What do I put in the recycling bin?!? There seems to be a lot of confusion about what to actually put in the recycling bin, or if you are suppose to wash it or not?!!
Check out Bournemouth Recycling's website to get the answers. Their A-Z on recycling can also be useful.

Larger items and ones that don't go in the recycling bin, can be recycled at the local recycling centre. For more information about what you can recycle and where to go, visit their website. Bournemouth Council's recycling page

                       stuff to sell 

Have you got some clothes or items that are too good to give to charity, why don't you try to sell them? There are lots of online selling platforms. Ebay is the largest, Gumtree and local Facebook Market Place good for selling most things.

                         Stuff to give away

One man's trash is another man's treasure! Everything from well weathered furniture to bubble wrap that you no longer need, might come in useful for someone else. Try your local Freecycle and Gumtree. Or local Facebook groups such as Sobo Recycle or Bournemouth Recycle for more unlikely items such as packaging, surplus jam jars...
