RECYCLING UNITS AT EAST SOMERSET RAILWAY

You can use the units to recycle paper, glass bottles and plastic bottles.

There have been some problems of excess recycling material around the bins in the railway car park and the Parish Council would like to remind everyone that the East Somerset Railway allow the bins on their land as a gesture of good will. Please ensure that we do not abuse their hospitality. So please remember :-
Containers used to carry materials should not be left on the ground beside the bins – Either recycle them or take them home.-
Only material stipulated on the bins should be placed in them-
No Food waste should be left in or beside the bins (Any clearing up has to be done by railway personnel – and this is not pleasant.)-
No commercial waste should be placed in the bins (Traders should use the correct methods of disposing of their waste)-
These bins have provided a valuable service to Cranmore and we should ensure that is able to continue
PLEASE Recycle Properly
