Recycling and Rubbish


REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE!

Do your bit, reduce your rubbish and recycle as much as you can.


  • Don’t forget that you can now put thin cardboard packaging such as cereal boxes in the green box.
  • Plastic Type 1 and Type 2 can be recycled at Waitrose, Portishead as well as the recycling centre at Black Rock Quarry and numerous places in Bristol (e.g. Sainsbury’s on Winterstoke Road).
  • Don’t forget to also recycle Tetrapak and similar drinks and soup cartons at Waitrose Portishead.


Refuse and Recycling (green boxes) for the majority of Abbots Leigh and Leigh Woods are on Wednesdays except Manor Lane and Manor Road beyond Manor Close which are Thursdays. It is the same week for the different recycling collections for everyone.

A printable table of all the collections for the year from April 2008 to March 2009 is available for normal Wednesday collections and for normal Thursday collections.

North Somerset have added a search facility on their website if you want to check when your refuse or recycling is due to be collected. Visit: www.n-somerset.gov.uk/waste and you should see the search facility text that you can click on to take you to the page where you then type in your post code.





Skittle Alley Renovation and Redevelopment – Latest news

Skittles 1More than 30 people enjoyed a lively (and friendly) skittles evening on March 15th, organised by the Parish Council with a lot of help from the Skittle Alley working group. A fine trophy (a presentation skittle) was won by a team slightly centred around Knightcott Road. Another such evening is planned for the autumn.

By now you should have received a questionnaire, seeking your views on future uses of the Skittle Alley. Please make sure that the views of all members of your household are included in your responses, so that we can get the best possible view of everyone’s wishes.
