This time of year is traditionally when we all get ready to spring clean our homes. To help West Cheshire Residents dispose of their unwanted items, recycling collections will be taking place as normal on Good Friday and Easter bank holiday Monday.

We all love a bargain outfit, but increasingly we are buying more, buying cheap and then discarding after only a few wears. On average, our fast fashion items are used for less than a year before we dispose of them.

Find out more about how to have a sustainable wardrobe at our event at Rowton Hall in Chester on 21 March 2020 and be in with the chance of winning an ECO washing machine.

Remember that foil (if you scrunch and it stays scrunched then it can be recycled), plastic and cardboard from your Easter eggs can be recycled at the kerbside.

Recycle this Easter

Recycling helps reduce greenhouse gases caused by waste. Also recycled materials can be used to create other products and we then avoid taking raw materials from the earth, such as timber, fossil fuels, crude oil and water, or having to create them from scratch using more energy and creating further emissions.

Waste Management have recently had their achievements acknowledged for improving local environmental quality though their ‘ No excuse for single plastic use’ campaign.  The Waste Awareness Team were just one of a few who received the finalist award to celebrate the impact their project has had on Cheshire West and Chester residents.

From 1 April to 30 September 2020 your recycling centres in Frodsham, Neston, Northwich and Tattenhall will be open from 9am- 5pm.
