The Recycling Team will be attending a number of events throughout the rest of year, where you can speak with them to get advice and information about recycling within the Rochford District, and also pick up some free giveaways!

If you received any new electrical items for Christmas then don’t just throw your old ones out! You can recycle them as part of the small Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) scheme.

To encourage more people to recycle their WEEE, Essex County Council is running a special campaign where you can bring along unwanted electrical items to special events in the District. Everyone who does so can also enter a prize draw to win an e-reader or digital radio.

Come and bring your small WEEE to the special events being held at:

Asda Store, Rayleigh on Saturday 5th January 10am – 3pm

Clements Hall Sports Centre, Hawkwell on Saturday 12th January 9am-3pm
