Wessex Water Drop-in Dorchester 15th October

by

We have now been told that,
instead of heading to Poole with your questions for Wessex Water,
they are coming to Dorchester to listen to you.

 

Do you have a query about your water bill, how to save water and prevent blockages, or your water and sewerage services?
@wessexwater will be holding a drop-in session at Dorchester Library on Tuesday 15th October 2024 to answer all your water related questions. The drop-in session will be run between 10am-12noon, with bookable slots available between 1pm and 3pm.

Now you can recycle Cartons & Foil

by

Cartons and cardboard tube-shaped containers

We can now accept the following items:

            • Empty food cartons and drinks cartons (e.g. for soup, milk, juice etc.)
            • Cardboard tube-shaped containers (e.g. curved crisps, hot chocolate, gravy granules).

We’d be grateful if you could take the following actions before you recycle these items please:

            • Make sure they’re completely empty and rinsed out
            • Flatten them, if possible
            • Put any plastic lids back on, if possible.

Foil trays, sheet foil, and foil wrappers

We can now accept the following foil items in your recycling containers:

            • ✅ Foil containers (e.g. pie trays, take-away trays)
            • ✅ Foil sheets (e.g. to cover food or wrap sandwiches)
            • ✅ Confectionary wrappings (e.g. Easter eggs, the inner wrappings of chocolate bars)
            • ✅ Foil lids (e.g. yoghurts, noodles)

We’d be very grateful if you could carry out these simple actions before recycling your foil items please:

            • Wipe clean any sheet foil as best you can
            • Rinse foil trays
            • Scrunch sheet foil or wrappers into a ball approximately the size of a tennis ball.
