Kirby Misperton
Although the smallest group in the area, the group in Kirby Misperton have a number of initiatives under its belt, including:
- The recycling corner recycles cosmetic items, soft plastics, ink cartridges, tetra packs, pringle tubes, bottle tops and even mascara wands which are donated to Pickering Hedgehog Rescue, used to remove ticks from their spiny patients! There is also a box for fabrics to donate to the local Morsbags project. Check out the TerraCycle website www.terracycle.com if you wish to set up a scheme near you. Otherwise contact us on ryedaleEG@hotmail.com.
- A fruit juice scheme allows otherwise unwanted apples and pears to be made into juice and sold to raise money for local causes.
- Several wildflower projects are underway, one next to the village hall car park and another
100M wildflower verge on the Great Habton Road.

Mainly cans, bottles,crisp/snack wrappers and disposable cups.
