Thermal Imaging Cameras now available to borrow
03/10/2023
The Council has recently purchased thermal imaging cameras and citizens are welcome to borrow them.
The cameras are beneficial because they detect areas of heat loss and unwanted heat gain in the home. This, in turn, results in a clearer understanding of energy consumption and can reduce cost of living pressures.
To find out more and borrow a thermal imaging camera, visit one of our three libraries or place one on hold via the online catalogue

Important information about batteries and bins
27/07/2023
Did you know you should never place batteries in kerbside bins?
All types of batteries have the potential to start fires in the waste collection truck, at the recycling facility and in landfill.
Even when a battery is “dead”it still has enough power stored within it to create a spark if it comes into contact with metal objects, are damaged or overheats.
The Council offers free recycling drop off at its Glynde Depot, Norwood Townhall, or at any of its three Libraries.
To find out more and your nearest drop off location, visit: B-cycle - Battery Recycling
