About improving our Environment
Don't waste your chance to make a difference
Striving to keep your waste to a minimum can have a very positive impact on the environment. In Surrey, keeping your waste to a minimum means less waste send to landfill. There are questions to ask yourself from the time you purchase or acquire products/goods, through to their disposal.
- Do I need it ?
- Can someone else use it ?
- Can I recycle it ?
- Can it be composted ?
At each stage, you have the ability to minimise waste and help change waste for the better. The benefits for the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle philosophy include;
- Reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions (composting)
- Items can benefit other people- i.e. charities (reuse)
- Materials can be reprocessed- convserving resources (recycling)
Taking care of the Local Environment
Across the Borough, village centres and shopping areas are cleansed regularly, streets are swept and autumn leaves cleared. This all goes towards making Surrey Heath a pleasant place to live and work.
You can contribute towards improving your local environment by contacting the Council (01276 707330) if you see
- anyone dumping rubbish (flytipping)
- any litter spots that have been missed
