• Defrost your fridge regularly to keep it running efficiently. • Use a low temperature programme on your dishwasher and wait until you have a full load before turning it on. • Choose the right size pots and pans for the food you are cooking and the cooker and keep the lid on when cooking. • When using a kettle, only heat the amount of water you need. If you are using an electric kettle, make sure that the water covers the element. • Turn off taps after use and let us know if you have a dripping tap. In just one day, a dripping hot tap can waste energy and waste enough water to fill a bath. c) Recycling and Waste There are 3 recycling and 3 residual bins located in the bin stores.
