Recycle Now Week

Recycle Week (20th – 26th June) is a week of nationwide recycling

This year’s theme is 'Recycling - Home and Away'. “It's all about the positive cumulative effect we can all make by recycling just a little bit more; whether it's doing more of what we already do at home or starting to recycle at work or while out and about.”

When you stay at Chesil Beach Lodge you can be sure you’re recycling while on holiday too. All our rubbish is sorted for recycling, and we recycle:

all our glass, plastic milk bottles, tins, clothes and cardboard, which are collected fortnightly and recycled in Dorset;

unwanted house items and clothing, which are recycled via our local Oxfam shop;

our vegetable waste, which is composted.

We also have tips on how to have an eco-friendly holiday.

Recycle Now have some great ideas for eco-friendly electrical products that reduce the impact on the environment. How about a USB Drive with a 100% recycled newspaper body; or a Samsung mobile phone with casing made from recycled plastic water bottles, and a solar panel charger; or an electric guitar with a body made using crushed CDs, vending cups and yoghurt pots?

If you’re a Facebook fan, you can keep up to date with all their recycling tips and information on the Recycle Now Facebook Page.

We’re committed to providing sustainable holiday accommodation and, as well as reducing waste and recycling, we serve locally-sourced produce, use environmentally-friendly cleaning products, and use open fires and wood burners to supplement heating where possible.
