Recycling at Mother Ivey's Bay

The amount of rubbish that is generated is staggering. Glass bottles, Plastic bottles, Paper, Card and Tins are all things that can be recycled. Everything else, at the moment, has to go to landfill.

Here at Mother Ivey’s we have been keen to attack this problem and have introduced, over the last few years, Recycling Bins within our waste collection areas around the Caravan Park. Last year we tried to encourage all of our guests to recycle as much as possible. The good news is that we have really got into recycling and the proof for us is in how many times we have had to exchange the large recycling skips.

2008 we exchanged one 8 yard skip of each type of waste (Plastic bottles and Tins, Cardboard, and paper) In the first 2 months of 2009 season (April and May) we have exchanged 1 skip of each type with the second skips to be exchanged by the end of June.

This must be great news for Mother Ivey’s and of course for Cornwall and our Children. We must keep this up and improve on other waste streams.
