 Safer Neighbourhood Meetin January 31st 2012 Households urged to maintain recycling efforts South Derbyshire households are being encouraged to continue their fine festive recycling efforts in the months to come. New figures show residents have given the best possible present to the environment over the Christmas period. 54.76 tonnes of glass and 4.43 tonnes of cans were left in recycling banks, while 4.8 tonnes of real trees were collected from specially designated drop off points. With the first compost collections of 2012 to start between January 23 and February 3, a perfect opportunity has arisen to continue the momentum. Food and garden waste can be left in brown bins on the dates outlined in recycling calendars distributed to every home. This will be turned into a treat for gardeners at the Biffa composting site in Etwall. Residents are being reminded cardboard can no longer be left in brown bins due to national legislation changes. Instead it can be taken to recycling centres and schools receiving money for recyclables as part of the Cash for Trash scheme. These are listed at www.south-derbys.gov.uk. South Derbyshire District Council is currently looking at options to further enhance its kerbside collection scheme to introduce a new service including cardboard and plastic as well as the existing recyclables. Cllr Peter Watson, Chairman of Environmental and Development Services at the authority, said: “We would like to thank all our households for their hard work to help the environment. “The green Christmas and New Year period experienced further enhances the reputation of South Derbyshire residents, who have the highest recycling rate in the county and continually go above and beyond. “We are now encouraging them to continue their efforts to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill.” Anyone wanting more information about recycling in South Derbyshire should telephone 01283 595795 or email waste.cleansing@south-derbys.gov.uk.

Free health checks for residents Residents in South Derbyshire who made New Year resolutions to get fitter and healthier are to be given a helping hand in their quest. Free Body MOTs will be taking place across the length and breadth of the District during January. The health checks are conducted at community venues by a qualified exercise professional and cover height, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, body fat percentage, heart rate, lung function, carbon monoxide levels and grip strength. With research showing some do not like to bother their GP with basic checks, these free sessions are an effective way for people to have a general medical in a relaxed and informal setting. Cllr John Lemmon, Chairman of Housing and Community Services at South Derbyshire District Council, said: “Our Body MOTs are a good way to find out about your general health and to point you in the right direction if you need professional advice. “The added bonus of a drop-in service means you can fit a health check in around whenever is convenient close to where you live or work. The health of our residents is extremely important to us and we are aiming to reach out to as many people as possible.” People are invited to the Hilton Brook Pub, in Egginton Road, from 10am to noon, or Etwall Library, in Main Street, between 2pm and 4pm, on Monday, January 16. Swadlincote Library, in Civic Way, and the Old Post Centre, in High Street, Newhall, will be the venues from 10am to noon and 2pm to 4pm respectively on Tuesday 17. Participants can also visit Elvaston Village Hall, off Main Street, between 10am and noon, and Etwall Leisure Centre, in Hilton Road, from 2pm to 4pm the following day (18). Other locations include the Green Bank Leisure Centre, in Civic Way, Swadlincote, from 2pm to 4pm on Thursday 19 as well as Aston on Trent Memorial Hall, in Chellaston Lane, and Rosliston Forestry Centre, in Burton Road, between 10am and noon and 2pm and 4pm respectively on Friday 20.
