Weekly recycling in Oxted and Hurst Green starts tomorrow and as part of an awareness campaign Tandridge DC's recycling officer is touring local schools and talking to their pupils. I, along with other local councillors, was lucky to see him in action this morning at Hurst Green school where he took the assembly- together with two volunteers, dressed as Tandridge Ted and Tandridge Pete, who managed to be very energetic despite the warm costumes. The children appeared to love it, especially when they got to put into practice squashing plastic bottles to ensure that they could all fit in the blue bag.
Hopefully this new generation will help encourage their parents to get involved.
Any Tandridge resident who doesn't have a Green Box (for cans and glass bottles and jars) or a Blue Bag (for paper, card and plastic bottles), or would like an extra one, should contact Amenity Services on 01883 732988 or 01883 732982, e-mail Amenityservices@tandridge.gov.uk.
