The Village Green Teams organised a visit to VIRIDOR RE-CYCLING FACILITY
On Tuesday 10th October 2007

Our aim was to take a group representing different organisations in the community so that they could share information as widely as possible across the three villages. (List of attenders below.)

We were impressed by the amazing sorting process and came away convinced that it is worth the effort to separate out re-cyclable products. We were also horrified by the amount of domestic rubbish that still has to go to landfill.

As a direct result of the visit the Village Green Teams produced the Perfect Blue Bin poster which, thanks to a grant from Babergh District Council, was printed in the Community Newsletter. The poster is now available on this website along with information about other local re-cycling opportunities.

The Green Teams continue to look for ways of increasing local re-cycling options. Please see separate reports on Battery Boxes and The Polstead Re-Cycling stable. Also read about the local “Say NO to Plastics” campaign.
