There will be fun for all the family at this year’s Re-Cycling Open Day on Saturday (21/6) at AmeyCespa‘s waste management park on the A10 at Waterbeach.

With the Tour de France coming to Cambridge, there is a cycling theme to this year’s event, with a cycle try-out around a recycled track and cycle-powered smoothie makers showing how to reduce food waste.

Visitors to the Open Day will be able to see a range of reuse, recycling and composting exhibitions, including cycle repair workshops from Opportunities Without Limits, the Sawston based charity that refurbish bikes. There will also be coach tours of the Waterbeach site to see how Cambridgeshire’s waste is recycled, and walking tours of AmeyCespa’s Mechanical Biological Treatment plant and Materials Recycling Facility.

There will be model-making activities using waste packaging and competitions, including the chance to win bike lights if you bring along household batteries for recycling at the DHL electrical recycling stand.

The Open Day is a joint venture between AmeyCespa and Cambridgeshire County Council. Entry is free and the event is open from 10am to 4pm. For more information call (01223) 861010.
