Grange Soroptimists and PEAT have been compiling a list of where to recycle items that cannot be placed in the regular Council waste and recycling kerbside collections. Below is a list of where items can be collected, in the hope that it may encourage us to reduce, re-use and recycle products that would otherwise go to landfill.
If you would like this list altered PLEASE CONTACT US
