TRASH TALK
This time we admit we are talking a load of rubbish!
We sort all bags of rubbish left by guests (which is as gross as it sounds), to make sure as much as possible is recycled or composted. It’s especially frustrating when you pick up a bag and you hear the clink of glass – let’s be honest, a glass bottle is pretty easy to separate!
To make it easier to recycle and cut down waste, we have a number of facilities for guests to use, and some top tips for making your stay a bit greener.
1️⃣ Each pitch now has its own food waste bin and recycling collection tub. We are trying to make it as easy as possible for you to separate your rubbish and bring it over to the recycling area.
2️⃣ Communal fridge and freezer for ice packs. To help cut down food waste, the fridge is there to help keep fresh food cold and to keep your cold box cool and prevent food spoilage and wastage
3️⃣ We ask that any uneaten food that you don’t want to take home is made available for others, or for us to compost. The tub full of food waste in the photo was what we removed from bin bags of “general rubbish” that was put out in just 3 days over half term 😱 much of it was in date and unspoiled but had been chucked. If nothing else it can go for composing there’s no need to put it in the black bin.
4️⃣ Use the recycling facilities that we provide! If you’ve got kids – make it a game to put things in the right bin. Mary Poppins would definitely approve! We have bins to separate glass, cans, hard plastics, food waste, batteries, cardboard, tetra packs and gas canisters. We can’t recycle plastic films, nappies or food-soiled items.
5️⃣ Don’t bring things you don’t need – like bottled water! You get fresh spring water straight from the taps for free at Wytch Wood.
So that’s it!
A few ways you can reduce the impact of your next holiday and help reduce the amount of waste going into landfill unnecessarily.
