RAGSWe've noticed how many rags end up being burnt in the incinerator at Battlefield. Unnecessary waste, as all the 16 charity shops in Shrewsbury can earn extra money from selling on their rags to rag merchants, who can sell on for re-manufacture for texitle products like carpet underlay etc. To help the charities out, please make sure whether you are giving them clothes and white goods, or rags, and label the bag so it's clear. They ask that no-one leaves any bags outside their premises after closing time, as these are thrown away. If you want to sell your rags, take them bagged to the demountable shed near TK MAXX at the Meole Brace car park. See also clothes. |

Tea BagsAnnually we use 60.2 billion tea bags. You may not be aware that some tea bags contain PLASTIC. All conventional tea bag brands use polypropylene, a sealing plastic, to keep them from falling apart. DON'T COMPOST them, not in your own compost bin or with food waste. (Tea pigs,Twinings Loose Leaf,Pukka Herbs,Aldi's Special Selection, and Waitrose Duchy brands are OK ). Clipper -The Fairtrade co. will launch a completely plastic-free tea bag once current stocks are sold - to reduce waste. You could always cut open the bag to compost the spent tea, or buy loose leaf and use a diffuser or teapot. |

TILL RECEIPTS (plastic)These used to be made of paper - nowadays, and not many people realize this, they are coated with a toxic plastic, to thermally print,as opposed to using inks! So, please bin them, don't compost or recycle them, and ideally don't even handle, but if you have to, wash the fibres off your skin. And don't give them to little kids to play with! |
tin (steel) cansThe brilliant thing about both steel and aluminium cans is that they can be recycled and processed into cans again, infinitely recyclable, with no loss of quality. Tin cans are magnetic, made of steel plate, heavier than aluminium, cheaper to mine, and good at containing acidic foods like tomatoes. They've been around since 1810. REcycle them, washed, at the kerbside collection. Also aerosol cans. |

Zero Waste - part of Cwm HarryThis is what we should be striving for – many towns, cities and countries (including Bishops Castle in Shropshire and Presteigne, just over the border) have made this their ambition – why not Shrewsbury? This movement is growing, globally - it is for local small-scale, community-led initiatives, based on questioning consumption, reducing waste, and reusing and recycling everything - nature doesn't waste a thing! ZERO WASTE PRESTEIGNE and NORTON, just over the border - the 2012 Community Recycler of the Year award winners achieve nearly 80% of domestic waste, by slow recycling, with very community-based involvement. See their inspiring website, at Cwm Harry, who have developed a closed-loop economy. |
