Recycling Initiatives in the Village

In Ellisfield (‘The Green Village’) we aim to live up to that description both from a scenic and environmentally friendly viewpoint.

We currently have recycling drop-off points for a number of items that can’t be placed in your local authority green recycling bins. These include batteries, printer cartridges, water cartridges, mobile phones, milk bottle tops and aluminium foil.

There are also recycling points for the following;

• Leather goods, e.g. belts and hand bags
• Shoes
• Old clothes and rags

The items are collected to raise money for St Michael's Hospice. Please note all these items go for recycling and are not reused, so do not include any items which could be sold in a charity shop.

If you have any of the above items to dispose of, please bag them up and take them to Tony Murphy, Crickwood, Berrydown Lane, Ellisfield. Tel 01256 389490

Here is a list of the other collection points throughout the village:-

Printer Ink Cartridges: Ted Dowson, Woodpeckers, Axford Road. Your donation goes towards raising money for The WoodlandTrust.

Batteries: Seumas Foster, Northgate Cottage, Northgate Lane. Batteries are particularly harmful if disposed of in landfill as they contain highly toxic heavy metals that contaminate soil and water courses, thus protecting us and wildlife and help to protect the environment.
