European week for waste reduction

Waste Services at Central Bedfordshire Council are marking European Week for Waste Reduction from Saturday 14 Nov to Sat 27 Nov. During this time they are hosting a number of swap shops events, which will include two evening swap shop events for adults, six mums and babies swap shops and two school swap shops, to highlight two of the campaign themes 'A longer life for products' and 'Less waste thrown away'.

Swap shops promote reuse, helps save money and ultimately stops unnecessary waste going to landfill. CBC is also emailing parish councils asking for support in terms of displaying the poster on any noticeboards they have as well as contacting the editors of parish newsletters/ magazines with the press release as well as a copy of the advert.

If you have any queries regarding the campaign, contact Jennifer Sawford, Waste Awareness Officer,Central Bedfordshire Council

Think budget - should we be doing this? Or is this one for people to organise themselves, Big Society style? Let me know your views please.
