There will be recycling wardens about so if you need help just ask!
Free Prize Draw… Count the number of green recycling bins on the ground with the Llanwrtyd Community Transport logo on the front and you could win £25.00 worth of resin sculptures. Each resin sculpture is unique, made at the Llanwrtyd Community Transport workshops in Cilmery, made from recycled glass collected at last year’s Festival and other local events.

Growing Opportunities from Festival 09 …… Traders are making every effort to use biodegradable paper plates and cups at this year’s event. These can be placed in the Food Waste bin at the recycling stations. Did you know that last year nearly .5 of a tonne of food waste and biodegradable plates/packaging was diverted from landfill and sent to Cwm Harry Land Trust for making into compost!
