Picket Twenty Community Association

Picket Twenty Community Association This page is intended for news, announcements and updates relating to the Picket Twenty Community Centre and its events.

Picket Twenty is a large development to the east of Andover, Hampshire with plans to expand to over 1500 homes in the coming years. The PTCA has been setup as a registered charity to advance education and provide recreation for Picket Twenty residents. At the heart the community is the new Community Centre, owned by Test Valley Borough Council and run by a team of volunteers who are mostly residents. The Community Centre has a range of flexible spaces and is an ideal venue for classes, groups, meetings and parties. It is available to hire to Picket Twenty and the wider Andover community.

โ™ป๏ธ WASTE LESS WEDNESDAY โ™ป๏ธ

Ever looked at the symbols on your packaging and wondered what they actually mean? ๐Ÿค”

Hereโ€™s a quick guide to some of the most common recycling symbols youโ€™ll see around the home:

๐Ÿ”„ Mobius Loop โ€“ The item is capable of being recycled, but this doesnโ€™t necessarily mean your local collection accepts it.
โ™ป๏ธ Recycle label โ€“ Check the wording carefully. It tells you how the packaging should be recycled.
๐Ÿ’ง Rinse & Recycle โ€“ Give containers a quick rinse to remove food or drink residue before recycling.
๐Ÿ”ข Plastic resin codes โ€“ The number tells you what type of plastic the item is made from. For example, 1 is PET and 2 is HDPE.
๐ŸŸข Green Dot โ€“ This DOESNโ€™T mean the packaging is recyclable! It indicates that the producer has contributed towards packaging recovery and recycling schemes.
๐Ÿšฎ Tidyman โ€“ Not actually a recycling symbol! Itโ€™s simply a reminder to dispose of your rubbish responsibly.

๐ŸŒฑ Our top tip: When in doubt, check what your local council accepts rather than relying on the symbol alone.

A few seconds of checking can help prevent recycling contamination and keep more materials in the recycling system. โ™ป๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

What recycling symbol has always confused you? Let us know below!

๐Ÿ’ก WASTE LESS WEDNESDAY โ€“ THE POWER OF LED BULBS ๐ŸŒฑ
Did you know that switching to LED bulbs can be a simple way to use less energy and save money?

LED bulbs use up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last for years, meaning fewer replacements and less waste. ๐Ÿ’กโ™ป๏ธ

So, next time a bulb needs replacing, why not make the switch to LED?

โœจ Use less energy
๐Ÿ’ท Reduce your energy bills
โฐ Enjoy longer-lasting bulbs
๐ŸŒ Help reduce your environmental impact

Itโ€™s a small change, but lots of small changes can add up to a big difference. ๐Ÿ’š

This Waste Less Wednesday, letโ€™s make the switch and brighten our homes while being kinder to our planet! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ก

Saving Energy in the Office ๐Ÿ’ก
๐ŸŒฟ Small changes can make a big difference!

This Waste Less Wednesday, we're looking at simple ways we can all save energy in the office and create a greener workplace.

From switching off computers at the end of the day to unplugging chargers and printing less, every little action helps reduce energy waste, lower costs and protect our planet.

Here are a few easy habits to try:

๐Ÿ’ป Turn off computers, monitors and printers when not in use
๐Ÿ”Œ Unplug chargers once devices are fully charged
๐ŸŒก๏ธ Be mindful of heating and cooling by keeping doors and windows closed
๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Print only when necessary and choose double-sided printing where possible
๐Ÿค Encourage your colleagues to make energy-saving part of the everyday routine Together, we can create brighter offices, greener communities and a more sustainable future. ๐Ÿ’š
