NEW! You can now recycle even more plastic in your blue‐ lidded bin!
Under Wiltshire Council's new contract with Hills Waste Solutions, from 30th July you will be able to recycle more types of plastic materials in your blue-lidded bin.
In addition to the current plastic bottles and cardboard, you will be able to recycle yoghurt pots, plastic trays, margarine tubs, ice cream tubs and juice, milk and soup cartons.
From 30th July, all the additional materials will be collected in the blue‐lidded bins.
Collections will still be fortnightly and collection days will not change. Residents will continue to use the same containers they already have. Additional recycling bins can be ordered if needed.
Recycling saves energy and costs less. Recycling materials has less impact on the environment than burying them in landfill or burning them to generate energy, so the more we can recycle, the better it is for the environment. In addition, it tends to be more cost effective to recycle materials than to deliver them to energy from waste plants or to landfill them. Last year we sent just 20% of waste to landfill compared to more than 60% in 2007!

Corsley Community Wildflower Meadow
There is an exciting project underway to restore the Old School Playing Field to a wildflower meadow...
Corsley was once rich in wildflower meadows, providing colour, biodiversity; a haven for wildlife and forage for bees. Sadly, as across much of England, our wildflower meadows have been lost or degraded. Our plan is to restore one small area in Corsley. We want to create a beautiful wildlife‐friendly area which local people can visit and enjoy. It will require hard work and patience, but we think it's worth it.
If you would like to be involved - whether actively volunteering (sowing, mowing, raking, weeding) or just cheering from the side lines – please get in touch. We would especially welcome help from anyone with special skills or equipment.

Corsley Photo Archive
Help us tell Corsley's story!
Houses are altered, pulled down or extended; landscapes change, trees are cut down, hedges disappear and, because we live here all the time, these changes go un-noticed. These alterations, recorded in the odd snap here and there, are often in the background. This project has been set up to document and display those changes for posterity.
We would do this by scanning, archiving and displaying the photographs and building a website. If the photos have creases or are a bit faded we can retouch the scanned image and supply a rejuvenated copy. If you are interested in this idea and can help as part of a study group or by letting us see your photographs, then do please get in touch with Phil Plumb or Liz Garrett.
