Free electronic recycling event Do you have broken computers gathering dust? Printers which have had their day? Old mobiles cluttering up your drawers? Well, it‘s time for a clear out! On 22, 23 and 24 September, why not take your electronic waste to Sims Recycling Solutions in Ashford where it will be recycled for free. This event is being hosted by ERP, the Surrey Chambers of Commerce and Spelthorne Borough Council as part of a drive to increase the amount of electronic waste that is recycled. Computers, monitors, mobile phones, video players, games consoles, microwaves, dishwashers, fridges, ovens, battery operated toys, power tools, electric kettles, televisions, electric heaters, radios, MP3 players, fluorescent and low energy light bulbs… bring anything with a battery or a plug on it and it will be recycled. The valuable materials in your electrical waste can be recovered and used again. For example, the plastic from a computer keyboard could end up in a new musical instrument. The gold from a mobile phone could be made into jewellery. And an iron contains enough steel to produce 13 steel cans. Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Protect the environment and help save valuable resources by stopping this waste going to landfill. Recycling services are provided courtesy of Apple. All electronic waste collected will be recycled by Sims within the UK. All business and household electronic waste will be accepted so please let your staff and customers know about this event, too. Visit www.erp-recycling.co.uk/events (external website) to find out more about these free electronic recycling days.

The South East Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association The South East Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association (SE RFCA) offers support to the Reserve Forces and Cadets in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey, East and West Sussex from all three services. This includes recruit marketing, the maintenance of the Territorial Army and Cadet estates and providing a vital link between the Reservists, their employers and the local community. SE RFCA also has close links with units and reservists of the Royal Naval Reserves, The Royal Marines Reserve and the Royal Auxiliary Air Force. The South East of England is home to some 50 Navy, Army and Air Force reservist units with over 3,300 personnel, all with local links, and all making a real and important contribution to Defence. There are also over 450 Cadet Detachments throughout the region, giving young people opportunities for adventurous training and training in life skills. Defence is not just something you read about in the newspapers. It touches the lives of people throughout the South East and is at the very heart of the community. Service in the Reserve Forces is dependant upon many factors but chiefly good character, fitness and citizenship. The minimum age is 17.5 years. The maximum age limit varies but is generally 43 years with service open to both men and women. The Reserve Forces accept British and Commonwealth citizens and those classed as a British protected person. Some persons born in the Republic of Ireland may also be eligible. Local units can advise on individual cases. Additionally you should have lived in the UK for the last five years. The same rules generally apply to adults with the Cadet Forces, with the exception that the age limit is more relaxed. Contact SE RFCA direct if you are interested in joining the Volunteer Reserve Forces or becoming an Adult Instructor with the Cadets or require further information on the Reserve Forces and Cadets. For more information go to www.serfca.org or telephone 01252 357616. |
