The owner of your holiday home will hopefully explain how the local recycling works in your welcome pack and give you instructions 📚

But if you’re in doubt, not to worry! Just pop the postcode of your holiday home into our Recycling Locator to find out what you can and can’t recycle and where your nearest drop-off points are for things you can’t recycle from the kerbside

Cheap, cool and kind to nature: how SECONDHAND became UK fashion’s main attraction!

“Shopping secondhand provides solutions to several important issues: style, cost and sustainability.”

Read about some of the many preloved fashion options that have moved from the fringes of society to become mainstream via Guardian ➡️ https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2023/feb/12/secondhand-clothes-uk-fashion-cheap-cool-kind-to-nature

"It’s in high-street shopping centres as well as vintage boutiques, bought and sold by parents, influencers and celebrities alike.

These moves tally with consumer behaviour. According to GlobalData, the clothes resale market in the UK grew by 149% between 2016 and 2022. It is forecast to rise by 67.5% from 2022 to 2026. There are also signs that the popularity of fast fashion is on the wane. Controversial cheap clothes brand Shein was the most googled fashion brand in 2022, but a recent report revealed sales had declined in the US for five months consecutively from June last year. Charity shops, meanwhile, had an 11% rise in sales in the three months to the end of September, with Oxfam’s sales up 40% in the run-up to Christmas."

And a little reminder that you don't need to be in London or a big city to indulge in and you don't even need to 'buy' stuff!
