🎅♻️ WEEE wish you a Merry Christmas ♻️🎅

With the festive season well underway we are encouraging everyone to recycle their waste electrical and electronic items at the 12 Recycling Centres in Nottinghamshire. Recycling helps everyone, it is easy to do, protects the planet for future generations, and during December and January it even helps raise money for charity.

For every tonne of small domestic appliances taken to any recycling centres in Nottinghamshire in December and January Veolia, our waste contractors, will donate £5 to the Chairman's Charity Motor Neurone Disease Association. So if you have any broken kettles, irons, games consoles, Christmas lights etc gathering dust at home Notts take them to your local recycling centre and help make a difference this Christmas!

What's more Veolia have even promised to donate an additional £500 bonus to the Motor Neurone Disease Association if the total reaches 500 tonnes by the end of January 2020.
