Recycle your waste

Based in Rotherwick, we would like to increase the recycling that goes on in our local area: Hook, Hartley Wintney, Odiham, Sherfield and surrounding villages by giving you the opportunity to recycle many more items.

By sending waste to TerraCycle*  we avoid it ending up as litter, in a landfill or incineration facility. Instead, new materials and products will be made with our collected waste, reducing the need to extract new materials from the planet.

This avoided impact is not small; for an average product over 90% of the environmental impact comes from extracting and refining the raw materials from which it is made.

In addition to the environmental benefits we will be rewarded with cash by weight collected to donate to local good causes.

So please sort your clean and dry recyclables, bag them and pop them into one of our purple wheelie bins which you can find here:

• Rotherwick - Rooks Farm Cottage,The Street, RG27 9BG. (Up lane opposite The Coach & Horses pub)

• Rotherwick - Whitewater CE Primary School, The Street, RG27 9BG.

• Hartley Wintney - St. John’s Church, Fleet Road, Hartley Wintney, RG27 8ED

• Central Hook - Band Hall Place, Hook, RG27 9HR. (First house on left through footpath behind Boots)

Once we have 1kg of each ‘waste stream’ we can send it off to TerraCycle   and in return we will receive money to donate to local groups: currently we are supporting the 1st Bramshill Scouts, Whitewater School PTA and Rotherwick Church.
