Since January 2005 Islwyn Scout Parc, in partnership with the local council, has strived to become a "green" campsite. Our recycling scheme enables us to recycle approximately 70% of the Parc's waste products thereby setting an example to our young people and protecting our environment for future generations. When camping at the Parc your group can help us to help the environment by maintaining this high percentage of material recycled. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with our scheme below. Thank you.

Lodge Residents

The kitchen has four green boxes for recycling. These are: Plastic, Cans, Paper/Card and Glass

Plastic - (Bottles only.) Please wash and squash. Remove all caps and lids.

Cans - (Food & Drink) Please wash and squash.

Paper / Card - Please squash all boxes
