Recycling for Charity.

Our Community Energy group SHARE joined the Terracycle, recycling program, in 2019, to save items from being incinerated, and raise money for charities. Thanks to the manufacturers sponsoring the different programmes.
We hit a MAJOR milestone in May 2023 and have raised over £ 10,200 for KICKS COUNT charity, who aim to reduce UK stillbirths. THANK YOU EVERYONE !! Amazing we can raise this sort of money on items usually thrown away, but can be made into new products Thanks to TERRACYCLE.

  • ALL items must be sorted into the different programmes, not all mixed together. We cannot sort your items.

PLUS Old mobile phones, cameras, gadgets, used stamps and unwanted jewellery can also be recycled for the Hill Pony Resources charity, who are supporting ponies here on our doorstep https://hillponyresources.weebly.com/

Cornwall Council confirm our recycling is not being dumped in landfill anywhere. A small percentage is reprocessed in Europe, legally, responsibly and ethically. 
In August 2019  SHARE visited the Materials Recycling Facility(MRF), and the Energy Recovery Centre (CERC) Bodmin, to see the recycling and incinerator converting waste into electricity.
