Recycling Policy

Vegware Packaging:

Exciting news: This month (June 2019) we have taken delivery of our new plant based packaging - plastic free - the way to go. Vegware is a manufacturer and visionary brand, the global specialist in plant-based compostable foodservice packaging. Vegware’s plant-based catering disposables are made from renewable, lower carbon or recycled materials, and can all be composted with food waste where accepted. 

Plastic packaging containers:

We pride ourselves on offering a reuse policy for any packaging provided on our stalls. Our plastic deli pots are leak and pamper proof and as such we offer a 10p discount to anyone who brings their pot back for a refill. The pots are also dishwasher, microwave and freezer proof so can easily be reused at home. Many of our customers' also return the bags we provide for reuse. 

Our Metal tins:

We are pleased to be involved with the Tools With A Mission project (TWAM). TWAM started over 30 years ago sending tools across the world to enable people to earn a living and to support themselves through self sufficiency. TWAM collect and refurbish tools and equipment no longer required in the UK and sending them overseas. For more information on this project please visit their website: http://www.twam.co.uk/

Waste Oils:

Any waste oil is sent to our local cash and carry to be cleaned and processed, it is then used to run the delivery vans.

Used Glass:

Any glass jars we have spare are collected for use within the Women's Institute.

Our Cardboard and Plastics:

These are separated and sent to a local collection point for recycling.
