Cambridge recycling scheme allows you to have your cake

A community centre in Cambridge has become one of the first in the country to give people the chance to recycle biscuit, cake bars and cracker wrappers.

Cambridge residents can save their packaging from landfill while also raising funds for Orchard Park Primary School.

The Orchard Community Centre on Central Avenue in Cambridge has signed up as a collection point for recycling plastic packaging from biscuits, crackers and cakes – items that currently cannot be processed through councils’ collections.
