Colchester Recycling Roadshows
Want to know more about anything to do with recycling? Then come along to one of Colchester Borough Council’s town centre Recycling Roadshows.
Due to the success of last year’s events, the Recycling Roadshows will be held again this year on the first Saturday of each month from April through to October (except in August). The Council’s recycling team will be on hand from 9am until 2pm in Culver Street East, close to JJB Sports and the Co-Op to answer questions and to offer advice.
The date and theme of the roadshows are as follows (themes subject to change):
- 4 October – Street litter recycling
Love Food Hate Waste goes on tour!
