Did you know that binning old and broken electrical items into the black bin is damaging the planet?

You can recycle electrical appliances, bulbs, and batteries at your local recycling centre.

Oil drums and barrels dumped on Castletownmoor today.
We bagged up the leaking drums to prevent them seeping into the ground for collection.
