VERWOODIANS ON WASTE WELCOMES YOU
Providing practical solutions and inspiration to reduce waste
BREAKING NEWS
Verwood Solar Farms have most generously funded our planned eco Christmas Tree Festival to be held at St Michael's Parish Church 28 November to 1 December. More details will follow later in the year!
NEWSFLASH - Sadly we have to announce Terracycle have ended the writing instrument bin and more recently the Dental bin. Ryman stores in Salisbury or Southampton no longer collect pens either. We continue to look for our outlets to recycle difficult waste.
Reduce. Reuse. Inspire.
We are a group of local people who are are concerned about the global problem of plastic use and the effects on our health, planet and the future of our children. Our aim is to inspire and facilitate others to reduce their plastic use and waste. We aim to share tips and information which will help us all reduce our global footprint and take the confusion out of recycling through raising public awareness.
