We ask you to make an effort to follow the rules and help us reduce our waste.
We separate food, non-recyclable, dry recyclables (plastic, paper, cardboard, cans), and glass.
Bins are provided for each type of waste. If your bins become full, they can be emptied into the correct large bins under kitchen stairs. There is an explaination taped on the left side of the door of the recycling area outside.
Rinse or wash food of ALL packaging before putting it in the recycling bin.
FOOD WASTE
Food waste is something you are trying hard to reduce. We have a few guidelines in place for that purpose:
We have a shared shelf in the fridge and the pantry - please check them before buying new items - Once a week we have a leftover dinner during which the persons cooking try to use most of the food on the shared shelves.
We have a "shared shelf" fairy for the fridge and the pantry to make sure food is being used and stored properly. This role rotates every week.
We have a dedicated slack channel "eat-me" to post about food available and needed to be consumed rapidely.
We encourage you to the village Community Fridge (opened 9:30-11 am) located at the Surgery parking in Uffculme where we can take and leave food that would otherwise go to waste.
