The Recycle for Cornwall campaign has been developed to raise public awareness of recycling and to provide consumers with a compelling reason to recycle.
Garden Waste can also be collected from your kerbside once a fortnight if it's in special Carrick blue sacks. You can buy just one or a roll of ten for the same price of 52p each from most village stores.
The price of the bag covers the cost of collection staff, vehicles and paying a local farmer to compost it into soil conditioner for his fields.
What can I put into a Carrick blue sack?
Lawn mowings
Hedge trimmings
Light Prunings
Leaves
Weeds (except Japanese Knotweed because it is illegal to transport this)
End-of-season vegetable and flower plants

Garden Waste can be taken free of charge at United Mines, St Day Recycling and Household Waste Centre
