State’s decision to allow the disposal of Low Level Radioactive

They have a dedicated website at
LDiA.org.uk

New Recycling Scheme |
Well done to East Northants Council for upgrading our home
recycling service. It involves slightly more effort on our
part but the reduction in waste for landfill is considerable,
so it has got to be worth doing. In particular we can recycle
a lot more packaging than before, and East Northants have
reassured us that everything in the recycling bin is separated
and recycled accordingly - check out East
Northants Recycling
if you want more information.
New to us all is the ability to recycle all our cooked and
waste food for special composting. We have found the compostable
caddy liners for the small silver kitchen caddy a must to
minimise mess - available from Coral
Products.
We've also found that it's best to wrap very smelly things
like a chicken carcass or fishy remains in newspaper and put
them straight in the larger food caddy outside.
