Review of January Plastics Collection at Peck and Strong's 

Last Saturday, 26th January, saw the first session of Household Plastic Waste Collection by Sustainable Crediton at its new location in the car park at cake producer PECK & STRONG at Lords Meadow in Crediton.

'With their established approach as a business towards environmental and sustainability issues, PECK & STRONG seemed a relevant alternative to the Morrison's car park we had used previously' says Paula Mossman, of Sustainable Crediton.

On Saturday, over a 2.5 hour period from 10am, a continuous flow of people brought clean plastic household waste for collection and recycling. It filled an impressive total of 40 dumpy bags, equivalent in volume to a London double decker bus.

PECK & STRONG's Marketing man Nigel Grumbar (who was present on the day) says:

'From the earliest days, founder John Peck has always been determined that his business should show due care for the environment, with carbon offsetting, minimal packaging, photovoltaic energy gathering and a regular weekly collection of our own plastic waste!'

This appears to be a great example of natural partnership between local businesses and community initiatives.

The next collection will occur from 10am on Saturday 9th March - possibly a date for the diary?
