Rubbish & Recycling
Hidden Spring is run on sustainable grounds, and as a family we work hard to reduce the waste we produce. Last season we had a huge problem with the amount of rubbish left. There are recycling bins on site for: Glass, plastics, paper – please see the posters on site – AND PLEASE USE THEM! We hope to have recycling for compost-able waste available by the start of the season. We are not a tip, and we do not like having to dispose of excess packaging, broken deckchairs, lamps, BBQ’s – to name but a few. Please take these with you!
