Recycling

Please sort out your recycling and put it in the labeled bins. We provide a box to carry the recycling to the carport. The recycling is put out on the road late on Monday for collection the next day.

In North Devon we can recycle the following:

Metal only tins and cans
Paper
Cardboard
Clear glass
Coloured glass
Plastic bottles (no other plastics)

Please free space by squashing plastic bottles and flattening cardboard boxes.

We CANNOT recycle:-

Any tetrapacs i.e. fruit juice containers or other plasticised cardboard
Plastic packaging or plastic bags

Composting
We provide compost containers in each kitchen for all vegetable matter. There is a green bin at the entrance to Coulscott to empty your containers into. Please put no plastic in there. This bin is emptied every two weeks and it is kept where it is because it sometimes smells.

Rubbish
Any waste that cannot be recycled please put in black bin liners provided and place in the large black bins in the car port – these are collected every other Monday. Please do not overfill the bins or leave the bin bags on the floor as otherwise animals and birds will spread the rubbish over a wide area.

Leftover Food
If you have any food (whole, fresh or still in unopened packets etc) leftover please do not throw it away. Leave it in your kitchen and we will see it goes to a good cause. Please help us to recycle. We aim to recycle at least 70% of our waste and to do so we have a recycling centre in the car port
