Thorntons Recycling

A Behind the Scenes Look at Grow, Cook, Eat visiting Thorntons Recycling 27/01/2022

Throwback Thursday! From October, 2017.

Remember when we had a visit from the wonderful Karen O’Donohoe from Grow, Cook, Eat.


Karen helped out on one of our recycling trucks as they collected compost bins. From there she visited a farm where some of the compost is used from the Thorntons Composting facility. This is a great example of the circular economy in action!
