Angarrack's fortnightly hobby hour - actually two and a half hours! - takes place today between 2pm and 4.30pm at the Angarrack Community Centre.

Come along and bring something that you enjoy doing or just come along for a chat and a cup of tea!

Admission is £2. All welcome.

Recycling Collections

There is now a fortnightly recycling collection service. The recycling containers consist of one box and three reusable bags. By now you should have received your additional containment, if you have not please contact us to request the containment.

Rubbish collections

You will receive a weekly collection of 'black sack' rubbish. Anyone who uses a wheeled bin or standard rubbish bin for storing their waste can continue to do this, but we need the rubbish to be bagged inside the bins. Please see our waste and recycling frequently asked questions

What should I have received in the former Penwith area.

Residents should have already had a green box.

Residents should now have received a blue reusable sack for paper, a red reusable sack for cans and plastic bottles, and an orange reusable sack for cardboard.

Please note

We have taken into account that not all residents will all ready have the containment used in their former districts. Additional bags and boxes for those residents can be requested by calling 0300 1234 141.

Everybody is warmly invited to attend “Festivity! Interpretations of the amazing Christmas lights of Angarrack, Newlyn and beyond” This is a photographic exhibition by Nick Bradford in the third room at New Street Gallery in Penzance that celebrates the ingenuity of the lights’ creators, while presenting the amazing light displays as they’ve never been seen before. Angels come alive, stars explode and snowflakes dance. The images are startlingly fresh as Nick experiments with his camera to create vivid new imagery - without the aid of Photoshop! 

Plus, with a broad range of Christmas cards, you will be able to spread the local magic far and wide. Proceeds from sales will be donated to the Angarrack Light Committee.

So come see the bright lights of Penwith in the wind-free warm & dry third room at New Street Gallery. The exhibition runs from 24 November – 7 December, Monday-Saturday 10.30am-5pm. For a sneak preview, visit www.flickr.com/photos/neonicko
