Good news Pix. I like to shred everything remotely personal so it's good to be able to know it goes to recycling.

You can often put shredded paper in your normal bin, not your recycling bin. Or give it to a hamster. Or make paper mache (papier-mâché) items |

We found that sometimes the paper recycling team took it, and sometimes the landfill team.

I have an old gas hob that I'd like to go a housing charity for re-use, but Google searches only find charity shops, which won't take them.

Kittenheels Kath could you contact a couple of corgi registered tradesmen and see what they do with old appliances? Or someone renovating buildings? Is there a reclamation yard nearby, the sort that has old radiators and things? |
