Your Role in a Greener Leisure Centre

Leisure centres are vital community hubs, and as customers, you play a significant role in helping them become more sustainable. Every small action contributes to a larger positive impact.

One key area is waste. Always dispose of your rubbish in the correct bins. Be mindful that while many items are recyclable, blue paper roll (often used for wiping down equipment) is not recyclable due to its composition and contamination. Opt for reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastics to reduce waste further.

Energy conservation is another crucial aspect. If you're the last to leave a changing room or sports hall, take a moment to switch off the lights. Even brief periods of lighting can add up. In showers, be conscious of water usage; taking shorter showers significantly reduces both water and heating consumption.

Finally, your voice matters. We welcome feedback. Don't hesitate to submit sustainability suggestions – perhaps a new recycling initiative, an idea for reducing water waste, or promoting active travel to the centre. By working together, customers and staff can transform leisure centres into truly eco-friendly spaces for everyone to enjoy.
