Visitors Centre

Ever wondered what happens to your recycling once it has been collected? Now you can find out through a FREE visit to the new East Cornwall Recycling Visitor Centre in Bodmin.

A visit to the centre offers an excellent opportunity to learn more about waste reduction and recycling and to see, firsthand, what happens to your recycling after it has been collected you’re your doorstep or from bring banks. As part of your visit you will have a guided tour around the materials recycling facility, where you will get a great view of the process of sorting the recyclables from our safe, purpose-built walkway. Here you will see the materials arrive at the centre, get sorted, compressed and then baled ready to go on to the next stage as a quality raw material.

The visits will be designed to suit the age and interests of your group and are absolutely free of charge. All visits to the recycling centre must be booked in advance. For more information about a visit or to book, please call Helen Selvey on 01208 74617 or email helen@recycleforcornwall.org.uk or visit http://www.recycleforcornwall.org.uk/visitorcentre/
