Help with unwanted 'stuff'

The Suffolk Waste Partnership, a joint enterprise of the County, District and Borough Councils, is urging residents to “Waste Less and Save More”.

However, if you are like me, you would like to take this advice but don’t always know how to dispose of things in the best way.

To help us all a new A-Z of Recycling has been launched.  This should help us to reduce waste, dispose of unwanted items correctly,  and save (taxpayers’) money.  Apparently,  it cost the Suffolk taxpayer £ 3.5 million to dispose of recyclable items that ended up in landfill in 2013

The A-Z of Recycling, a searchable directory, just added to Suffolk Recyling website, allows the user to find out how to reduce, reuse and recycle everyday household items. Covering everything from nappies to nintendos; batteries to bicycles and 'aerosols to zithers'; residents can discover the best way to get rid of items they no longer need.

There is also information on textile recycling and advice on composting and other ways to reduce food waste.
