🪔 Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating across Redbridge!

As families and communities come together for the Festival of Lights, there are plenty of ways to celebrate while reducing waste and helping the environment.

🎁 Choose gifts with less packaging or use reusable wrapping
🌸 Reuse decorations from previous years or get creative and make your own
🍬 Gift sweets in reusable tins, baskets or containers
🤝 Share leftover food with family, friends and neighbours and help reduce food waste
♻️ Recycle cardboard, paper and glass packaging after the celebrations

Small changes can make a big difference while keeping traditions at the heart of the festivities.

However you choose to celebrate, we wish all residents celebrating the Festival of Lights a very happy Diwali! ✨

🎆 Remember, remember the Fifth of November... safely and responsibly!

If you're enjoying fireworks this autumn, consider attending an organised display. It's a great way to celebrate safely, reduce litter and minimise disturbance to wildlife and pets.

Hosting your own display? Make sure you:
✅ Buy fireworks from a licensed retailer
✅ Follow the Fireworks Code
✅ Keep fireworks well away from buildings, trees, pets and people
✅ Have a bucket of water or hosepipe nearby

🦔 Lighting a bonfire? Check carefully for hedgehogs and other wildlife that may be sheltering in piles of leaves or garden cuttings before lighting.

♻️ After the celebrations, recycle cardboard packaging and remember that leftover fireworks should never go in your household bin. Soak them overnight and take them to Chigwell Road Reuse and Recycling Centre, informing site staff when you arrive.

🎃 Before buying a new Halloween costume this year, why not see what you can create from items you already have at home?

According to environmental charity Hubbub , an estimated 7 million Halloween costumes are thrown away every year. Choosing a homemade costume is a simple way to reduce waste, save money and create something truly unique!

Get creative with items you already have:
👻 Turn an old bedsheet into a ghost
🌾 Create a scarecrow using checked shirts and denim
🤖 Build a robot from cardboard boxes and packaging
🧙 Transform old clothes and accessories into a spooky new character

This Halloween, give old items a new life and show that the best costumes don't have to cost the earth. 🌍
