Recyling for chartiy
The collected waste from many of the streams is packed up by volunteers and sent off to be broken down into plastic pellets and made into things like playground equipment, in return the charity of choice receives a donation.

Our charities
What can be recycled?
We accept the following items at our recycling station, but please get in touch if you're unsure or have questions.
Crisp packets and multipack wrappers, popcorn, nuts and pretzel packets, emptied and put inside each other, keeping them separate from other streams.
Biscuit, cake and cracker wrappers, emptied and put inside each other, keeping them separate from other streams.
Cheese wrappers, cleaned.
Pringles tubes (flattened with the lid inside).
Any plastic bread product packaging.
Milk bottle tops (no other lids).
Printer cartridges.
Empty medicinal blister packets, pill bottles, vitamin bottles and calpol syringes.
We are the only place in the Bexley borough accepting medicinal waste for recycling. The box has to be purchased, so we use some profit from the refills to do this good thing for the environment (plus it’s good for the council as it diverts non recyclable waste out of the borough).
Dishwasher tablet packets, dishwasher salt packets, household wipes and refills (no baby wipe packets).
Toothpaste tubes, toothbrushes and toothpaste packaging (please keep separate in a bread bag for instance to avoid unnecessary unhygienic handling).
Bras - used and surplus.
Stamps.
