♻️ Aerosol cans

♻️ Plastic spray bottles

♻️ Yoghurt pots

♻️ Plastic trays and punnets for meat, takeaways and fruit

♻️ Metal lids from jars and bottles

♻️ Aluminium foil - scrunch it in a ball


These items can all go in your recycling boxes:

♻️ Glass bottles and jars of any size or colour - Recycling Box #1

♻️ Toilet roll - Recycling box #2

♻️ Cardboard envelopes - Recycling box #2

It's Win-Win when you play SeaMoor Lotto

Sign up to SeaMoor Lotto and support a good cause today and not only will you be in with the chance of winning weekly cash prizes of up to £25,000, but if you enter before Saturday 25 October, you will be in with the chance of winning an iPhone 17 Pro, all for just £1 a week.

SeaMoor Lotto is a lottery for the people, by the people. It’s a fun way to help good causes without giving up precious time.

Tickets are just £1 in the weekly draw, and you can choose exactly which good cause you would like your money to go to. More of your money goes to your chosen cause than with any other major lottery – you can see the exact breakdown, where every penny goes, on our website.

With our new Super Draw, you can also buy extra tickets to “top-up” for Super Draw week – or if you don’t want weekly tickets, you can buy tickets just for the Super Draw!

Unlike larger lotteries, the majority of your ticket purchase comes back into the community AND the odds of winning a prize are much better, at an amazing 50:1. It really is a win-win: even if you don’t win a cash prize you can be content in knowing that you are making a real difference!

Since its launch the SeaMoor Lotto has raised thousands of pounds for small charities -so why not join in?

Visit our website to see which good causes you can support, and buy a ticket today.
