PLUS These drop off points are always open:
Full list of items that you can recycle:
- The manufacturers that sponsor the programmes dictate what can be accepted.
- ALL items must be sorted into the different programmes, not all mixed together. We cannot sort your items.
If you are closer to Redruth, check out https://www.upcyclekernow.org/
Remember its not the packet it’s what was in the packet that is important.
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.
