Time for a tidy up in the garden?
Utilise 'used' compost by using it to top dress your flower beds, or add nutrients to refresh it and use it to grow something different. π±
We can all do our bit for the environment, reuse and refresh! β»οΈ

Hi @HerefordHourbiz! We're looking for other companies in the area that have ABS and acrylic for recycling. We don't generate enough for the commercial recycling companies to bother with (min 5 tonnes!), so we're looking to buddy up with a company that does. Anyone? Thanks.
