In recognition of this year's Compost Awareness Week (6 to 12 May), Southwark Council is giving away five compost bins every day for the whole week. The giveaway is taking place from Sunday 6 May at the Southwark Council's Reuse and Recycling Centre off Old Kent Road and is open to all Southwark residents.

Hi Alik212 Apologies for the confusion. The dates were listed in week order i.e.Camberwell on Monday, John Harvard on Tuesday etc. I hope that you were able to attend one of the events. If you missed the demonstrations, we would be happy to send you some follow up information and answer any questions you might have about real nappies. Please send us a private message should you wish to be contacted directly. Kind regards Suzy CEO Team Leader Veolia Southwark

Veolia Southwark will be hosting free real nappy demonstrations at local library baby and toddler sessions (see listing below). The team will be on hand to answer questions about using real nappies and how to apply for the free trial pack (worth ?50). By using just one real nappy a day, in place of a disposable one, would prevent 730 nappies from being sent for energy recovery. Using cloth nappies instead of disposables not only helps to save the environment but helps to save families money too. Parents can save approximately ?500 per baby and if nappies are used for more than one child, the cost savings add up considerably. In the UK, 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away, every day. The plastic in disposable nappies can take up to 500 years to break down. Join other parents across Southwark and help to reduce the number of nappies that are thrown away by making the switch to reusable nappies.

EnviroGrants are wholly funded by Veolia, not Southwark Council. The decision to end free bulky waste collections was a matter for Southwark Council.

The Southwark EnviroGrant scheme relaunches for its sixth year, offering community groups and schools the opportunity to be awarded up to ?1,000 for environmental projects that enrich the local area. Projects that help to reduce, reuse and recycle waste are particularly welcomed. Established by Veolia, Southwark Council?s recycling and waste partner, the scheme has been designed to support communities with projects that benefit the local area. The voluntary assistance of Veolia employees can also be requested for any cleaning, building, painting, planting or other general tasks required in projects. So far over ?17,000 has been awarded, benefiting 34 community projects in the borough. In 2015, projects included an environmental film screening (pictured), community gardening and composting, plastic bottle greenhouses, give and take days and more. If you?re part of a community project and you?d like to apply for funding to support your plans, further information and an application form can be found at www.veolia.co.uk/southwark The deadline for entries is 30 April 2016. Best of luck.
