A food market bursting with fresh local produce will be part of an event at Liskeard’s Cattle Market today (Saturday Sep 12)

Stallholders from around the Liskeard area will be bringing produce including fruit and veg, honeys, preserves, artisan breads and baked goods, hen and duck eggs, meats and cheeses.

Also there will be Alison Humphreys of SHARE's Recycle for Charity group.

Alison will be accepting many sorts of ’hard to recycle’ items so long as they are separately bagged. Among the list of items are snack, biscuit, cracker and cake wrappers, cheese packets, wax and nets, used toothbrushes and empty toothpaste tubes, triggers and pumps from plastic bottles, pens and felt tips, and clean, dry pet food pouches.

SHARE (South Hill Association for Renewable Energy) collects certain items not recycled by the council and sends to Terracycle to be made into new products and credits their nominated charities. In the first six months it raised over 1000 pounds for Kicks Count charity, whose aim is to reduce the UK still-birth rate . SHARE collects all over SE Cornwall and the Tamar Valley on a regular basis.
