Recycling
Here at the cottage we recycle pretty much 70% of all our waste. Paper, cardboard, wooden boxes and of course the bottles. We also compost all our vegetable trimming. This has helped us over the last year to cut our land fill waste by over half and we increased our business by half as well!!
Thank to the help of the local council, 1st Waste and the bottleman this has been possible.
