‘Our Precious Earth’ in Holloway Street in Minehead now accepts the following items for recycling:
 plastic pens
 toothbrushes
 toothpaste tubes
 medicine blister packs
Also corks (but real ones!).
If you haven’t already come across it, the shop offers a wide range of sustainable, zero-waste household goods, toiletries and gift ideas. It’s well worth a look as the owner, Keith, stocks a variety of interesting and unusual items.
Keith was inspired to set up the shop after years of beach cleaning and seeing the damage that plastic causes in the environment.
