WHAT’S ON
In and Around Oundle
Are We (Still) Winning The War On Waste?
Wednesday 22nd May, 7.30pm* in the Oundle Room, Fletton House, Glapthorn Road, Oundle, PE8 4JA.
Most local households have three bins into which recycling, black bin and food waste
are separated - but what happens to it after
it is collected, what is the definitive list of
what goes in which bin and, as awareness of environmental and social issues related to mass consumption grows, are habits and behaviours changing accordingly?
Industry expert, Charlotte Tompkins, of North Northamptonshire Council will provide an update on where the material collected through our waste and recycling collections goes, what we can and can't recycle in our bins,
and how we can be less wasteful.
The talk will be preceded by a very short
Transition Oundle AGM.
