HIGHLAND COMMUNITY WASTE PARTNERSHIP

Reducing, Re-using and Recycling in Skye and Raasay

Working together to reduce waste and encourage more sustainable consumption across the Highlands.

We are proud to be one of eight community groups across the Highlands chosen to be involved in the Highland Community Waste Partnership.

Across Skye & Raasay we are working with local businesses and communities to establish a range of waste reduction initiatives. One of our main focuses is on supporting businesses to reduce cardboard waste through reuse and recycling, whether that be for growing, fuel or packaging. We area also organising events such as repair and composting workshops, climate cafes, clothes swap events and film nights.

Cardboard questionnaire – please complete here

We plan to start a pilot scheme for cardboard reuse, with the hope to create more of a circular system within our community and prevent this valuable resource going to landfill unnecessarily.

The first step is to find out how much cardboard waste there is from businesses, and what would our community most benefit from when it comes to reusing it. Businesses: please take 2 minutes to complete our questionnaire. Thank you!
