Bins, Recycling and Compost

There are general waste bins and recycling bins provided in your apartment. The following can be recycled: glass bottles, all plastic, cans, tetra packs, cardboard, and paper. The bin and recycle store is located on the west side of the house in the car park. Please separate the recycling into the individually labelled bins and put the black general waste bags into the black bins. We have left a spare black bin liner under your sink.

Compost

We are very keen to keep as much as possible out of landfill and so we have left you a white compost caddy and biodegradable liner. Please use this for any raw vegetable or fruit scraps (no cooked food). The compost area is next to the rabbits and chickens and you can just pop your bag into it once full or on departure. (Please read the ANIMALS tab for food that can be passed their way).

The compost is topped up by us with grass, paper and straw and turned into compost for the plants within the Pickwell grounds. For guests staying a week, we have left a spare compost liner under your sink.
