Raising waste and recycling awareness across the county of Nottinghamshire
We are all responsible for managing waste. It is vital that everyone in the community gets involved to take action against the growing waste problem. Veolia Nottinghamshire works with communities across Nottinghamshire to raise awareness about waste and recycling in the County.
Find out more about the activities and projects we are involved in here:
Compost produced at home benefits your garden, adding nutrients, improving soil structure, maintaining moisture levels and keeping your soil's pH balance in check.
There are so many items in your day to day waste that can be recycled and made into something new. Just by putting cereal boxes, cans, paper and plastic bottles into your recycling bin we can make sure that less waste goes to landfill and more materials are made into something new.
