Hi everyone, my name is Neil McLay, and I’m delighted to introduce myself as the Recycling and Sustainability Officer for the Stronsay Development Trust.
There are already so many wonderful ways the people of Stronsay reduce, reuse and recycle, and my aim is to build on those strong foundations.
If you have any questions or suggestions about how we can improve our recycling and sustainability efforts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch:
Email: neil@stronsaydevelopmenttrust.com
Phone: 01857 616410
Visit: Pop by the Recycling Centre for information or to drop off your cardboard.
My working hours are Monday from 9:00-12:00 in the recycling centre, outwith that, I can be available during the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays as required.
🚫Tetra Pak® Recycling
Please note that we’re unable to recycle Tetra Pak® cartons or similar drinks packaging in our cardboard briquette machine. The cartons are typically made up of 70% paperboard, 25% plastic and 5% aluminium.
As of March 2025, Orkney Islands Council no longer accepts Tetra Pak® for recycling due to “the high costs incurred.”
🔥New Reusable Log Sacks
We’re introducing smaller, reusable net sacks containing 10 logs each - a more manageable option if, like me, your back isn’t what it once was! Logs are still available by the box (30).
Prices:
Box of 30 logs - £7
Net sack of 10 logs - £2.50 or 3 for £7
🪵Where to buy
Boxes of logs can be bought from Ebenezer Stores or from Woods Yard.
If the office and recycling centre is closed, boxes can be picked up from the Woods Yard office porch. Either leave payment in the post-box or scan the QR code on the office door to pay online.
