Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Christmas Waste and how to avoid it.



I have just received my latest copy of Waste and Recycling News which has two important messages for residents during the Christmas period.

Firstly, collections of rubbish and recycling from your home will, due to various public holidays etc., be on different days from usual.   Full information, and a downloadable leaflet for Babergh,  is available HERE.

Secondly, as usual, once the festivities are over it is possible to recycle your Christmas Tree by taking it to a collection point near you.  Information about this scheme is available on the Babergh website HERE.

This scheme is now 9 years old and almost 12,800 trees have been turned into useful compost over that time.

Finally, I have had a telephone call from a resident who wanted to know if any growers are currently operating a 'rent a living Christmas Tree' scheme.  I seem to remember that the BATS group did run a scheme of this type a year or so ago, but I am not sure if that is continuing?  If anyone knows perhaps you could get in touch with me?
