Success for Transition Buxton’s “Hard to Recycle” scheme

Transition Buxton’s “Hard to Recycle” scheme has collected 100 kg of crisp packets in little over a year. A big congratulations to Transition Buxton for this fantastic achievement. Other weights collected include 20kg each of dental products, baby food pouches and pens.

Collections will continue during lockdown. The full list of items currently able to be recycled through this scheme can be found on their website or on the bins themselves.

Derek Bodey from Transition Buxton said ‘We hope people will avoid single use plastic wherever possible. Where that is not possible in the short term, we are providing a solution to stop at least some going to waste and landfill.’
