A purpose-built community recycling facility is located at the New Green Centre for residents to recycle glass, textiles, shoes, paper and small electricals.
It is open 7 days a week (with the exception of Christmas Day and New Years Day), 9am - 5pm April to September and 9am to 4pm October to March.

This means residents can now recycle their small broken electrical items, like coffee machines, kettles, mobile phones, tablets, and anything smaller than a 4-slice toaster.
Larger items will still need to be taken to a Suffolk Recycling Centre.
The scheme has been supported by £47,000 from Material Focus' Electricals Recycling Fund, a not for profit which heads up the national 'Recycle your electricals' campaign.
It is one of 60 UK projects to have received a share of almost £800,000 from the fund which aims to reduce e-waste and its environmental impact.
On average there are at least 30 electricals hidden away in drawers in UK homes, a total of 880 million items across the UK.
Many of these could be donated or sold to people who could put them to good use with a simple repair.
