🎉 We are thrilled to highlight the incredible impact of the Waste Not, Dance Lots project, delivered by community organisation Alchemic Kitchen across Liverpool, Knowsley, St Helens, and Sefton!

Part of our Zero Waste Community Fund, this fantastic initiative has been bringing residents together through hands-on learning, vibrant "Disco Chops" cooking events with surplus food, and the annual Apple Day at Speke Hall.

By teaching practical skills, reducing household food waste, and fostering community wellbeing, the project is making a difference.

Please keep bagged waste out of the household recycling bin. Even if the bag contains recyclable items, it cannot be separated at the recycling facility meaning it has to be removed and disposed of.

Batteries are hidden inside many electricals and if binned they can get crushed in bin lorries and recycling centres. But nearly half of UK adults didn’t know this can lead to fires 🔥

So remember to always !
