🚫 Never bin your old electricals!
Anything with a plug, battery or cable can be reused or recycled and turned into something new ♻
Bag up your old electricals and take them to one of Wakefield’s new electrical recycling points

We can all reduce this shocking number by making one small change when shopping - buying loose.
Not only will buying fruit and veg loose reduce food waste, it also gives us the opportunity to choose exactly what we want.

By choosing loose you can find exactly what you're looking for (it's literally the OG pick'n'mix) all whilst saving on food AND our planet. Pick up the exact quantity you need for your meal prep to ensure no carrot gets left behind at mealtime 🥕

Whatever you choose, getting creative with your pancake toppings can be the perfect way to use up leftover fruits, veggies and spreads from the cupboard.
