We are pleased to announce that the Fireworks Display will again feature a bonfire and will be held on Friday 6th November on the Sport Field. Please come and support this event. Details to follow.
The Food-waste BIN service begins this week on 5th October. Please put your food waste bin out alongside your normal household bin. This will be a weekly service and so it will go out with the ‘black bins’ and the ‘green bins’.
Unused food and food leftovers currently make up about 30% of what is thrown away in each household’s refuse (green) bin and being able to recycle this will significantly reduce the amount of waste sent for incineration. It will be used to generate clean, green energy and nutrient-rich soil improver for farmers.
IN October the HVA has its AGM, it’s on 13th at 7:30 – there are more details on the HVA page
By now everyone in the village should have had delivery of their food waste caddies. Food waste can represent a third of what is put in each household’s refuse bin and recycling will significantly reduce the amount sent to be burned for power. Instead, it will help generate clean, green energy via a process called Anaerobic Digestion (AD). This is already a valuable source of renewable electricity in the UK, contributing over 1 billion kWh of electricity to the national grid – enough to power around 3 million homes for a year from waste and organic materials. It also provides fertiliser as a byproduct to benefit local farms. Full details can be found on the East Hants web page – this is a link.
