Photographic Cmpetition 2025

The Owners' Committee invites you to take part in a photographic competition.

The Chorltonville website has a few, mostly out-of-date, archived images, so we thought it needed a refresh and sprucing up with more up-to-date photographs. We are therefore launching a photographic competition which we hope will generate more relevant images for the website.

The Chorltonville Photographic Competition is open to all residents of the ‘Ville.

We have split the competition into four seasonal categories: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. There are two age categories for entries, 18 years and over and under 18s.

Further information and an image upload form can be found in the For Residents section under Photographic Competition.

Update on recycling bins

You can now put plastic pots, tubs and trays in your mixed recycling bin along with the rest of the mixed recycling items. This includes all of Greater Manchester (excluding Wigan who have their own waste arrangements), so Chorltonville is included.

What counts as a plastic pot, tub or tray?

Plastic Pots e.g.

Yoghurt pots
Plastic soup pots
Toiletries in pots
Hummus or dip pots

Plastic Tubs e.g.

Margarine/butter tubs
Laundry tablet tubs
Chocolate and biscuit tubs
Clear take-away tubs

Plastic Trays e.g.

Meat trays
Ready meals containers
Plastic punnets for fruit and mushrooms
Plastic egg boxes

What doesn't count?

Soft plastics like plastic bags, pet food pouches, crisp packets, clingfilm, bubble wrap and plastic film from meat trays. They can’t be recycled in your mixed recycling bin at home. Many supermarkets collect soft plastics which you can find using the Recycle Now website: https://www.recyclenow.com/

What about plastic lids?

The lid from a bottle (and it's not attached), will fall into the glass recycling because of it's size and it being loose. So, lids that aren't attached with a strong bit of plastic can't go in the recycling because it will ruin the glass recycling. If the lid is attached with the new bit of plastic, then screw the lid back on tightly and recycle as usual.

However, when you compare a bottle lid to a lid off your sweet chilli hummus dip, it's a lot bigger. Big lids from pots or tubs can be recycled because of their size, as they won't fall into the wrong recycling pile.
