INFLATABLES AMNESTY

Plastic Free North Devon are piloting an inflatables collection and recycling scheme in Croyde this summer and we are taking part along with many other campsites in the village.

Each summer we are left with sizeable quantities of waste that we try to sort and recycle as much as possible. The detrimental impact plastic waste is having on oceans and coastlines is now increasingly evident in our area and awareness is growing around how to try and reduce it.

This is one such idea that not only reduces the plastic waste going to landfill  but also reuses the plastic and gives it new functional purpose extending it’s lifespan.
