The Waste Group oversaw this market with an exhibition about plastic collection and a sculpture made from waste items. This market was part of the Crediton Festival.

The Waste Group's stand was based on plastics recycling - what you can recycle via your MDDC box, what you can recycle at our collections and Punchbowl, what you can recycle at Punchbowl only and what is currently not recyclable and why. There will be samples on show as well as a display about the harm plastics do to the environment eg. animals eating plastic waste.

We constructed a Waste Sculpture entitled 'A Summer Garden' that was largely made from waste plastic bottles and other plastic bits and bobs. It was about about 8ft tall and six ft square.

All markets are open to local gardeners and smallholders to sell or swap their home grown surplus produce, preserves, cakes, etc. Home produced crafts and local organisations are also welcome. You can come with just few eggs or a basket of fruit - everybody is welcome. For full details go to the Community Market page. People have to provide their own tables and cover but only a donation is required for the space.
