Enter Love Essex's cloth nappy competition and be in with the chance to winning a Little Lamb nappy hamper worth £99. If you were to switch just ONE nappy every day, that would be 365 fewer disposable nappies going to waste each year. A small change can make a big difference. To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is complete the quick survey to explain which nappies you use and why. All entries must be submitted by midnight on Sunday 24 February. T&Cs can be found on the Love Essex website. Join the WasteBusters Would you like to improve your local community and the environment? We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help Essex residents to waste less and recycle more. To be part of this growing volunteer group, come along to the Uttlesford WasteBusters training event which is being held later in the spring – we'll be sending details out soon, or for more information email waste.busters@essex.gov.uk. Recycling ... let's get it right! If recycling bins containing non-recyclable items – such as black plastic sacks, nappies, food waste, polystyrene or garden waste – are not spotted by the crews before they are picked up, this can potentially cause a whole lorry load of recycling to be spoiled. A very small percentage of non-recyclable items in the bin can result in tonnes of otherwise reusable waste being diverted away from recycling and sent to landfill. We want to stop this from happening. If refuse crews identify a recycling bin which contains non-recyclable items, a bin hanger (like the one in the picture) will be attached to the bin highlighting which items need to be removed. Once these offending items have been removed by the householder the bin will be emptied on the next scheduled collection – we will not return to empty the recycling bin before this. Recycling resources We have a variety of information available on the website to help you with recycling.  ► Recycling in Uttlesford ► Can I recycle it? online tool ► Home composting ► Book a bulky waste collection ► Assisted bin collections   Uttlesford's Recycling at Home guide is also full of information about what to do with your household waste. It lets you know what can and cannot go in your bins, and contains links to services and websites that can help you to become an even more effective recycler. ►Read the guide online Homepage  |  Contact us  | Unsubscribe All  |  Subscriber Preferences |  Privacy Policies

Reminder: Men's Sheds Saturday 17th November

Saturday 17^th November 10am to 12pm in the New Pavilion, Radwinter Recreation Ground

Even if you are not a 65+ man, do come and have tea, coffee, cake and a chat to find out more about the Men’s Shed project and how it can benefit the community.

New Radwinter ‘Men’s Shed’ Open Event

We are pleased to announce that the old cricket pavilion at the Radwinter recreation ground has been made available to the Essex Shed Network, in order to establish a Community Men’s Shed in this area of Uttlesford.

A Men’s Shed project is a larger version of the typical man’s shed in the garden – a place where he feels at home and pursues practical interests, with a high degree of autonomy. A Men’s Shed offers this to a group of such men, where members share the tools and resources they need to work on projects of their own choosing at their own pace and in a safe, friendly and inclusive venue.

We are holding an open event on Saturday the 17^th of November 2018 between 10am to 12pm for any men 65 years plus who would be interested in becoming members of this exciting project.

We will be available to talk with you about the Shed Project, tea, coffee and cake will also be provided.

We look forward to meeting you
