Mae Wythnos Ailgylchu yn ôl | Recycle Week is back

Mae ymgyrch Recycle Now yn dod â manwerthwyr, brandiau, cwmnïau rheoli gwastraff, cymdeithasau masnach, llywodraethau a'r cyfryngau ynghyd i gyflawni un nod: helpu pawb i ailgylchu mwy o'r pethau cywir, yn amlach. Thema eleni: achubwch eich deunyddiau ailgylchadwy o'r bin, a gweld beth sy'n digwydd pan fyddan nhw'n cael eu hachub!

Recycle Now's flagship campaign brings together retailers, brands, waste management companies, trade associations, governments and media with one goal: helping everyone recycle more of the right things, more often. This year's theme: rescue your recyclables from the bin, and see what happens when they get rescued!

Looking for a workspace of your own in Penarth?

The Small Room at Milkshed is becoming available this September.

It's a bright, private studio for up to two people, with something you don't usually get with a workspace of this size: a separate adjoining room, all to yourself. Use it for storage, stock, equipment, supplies or as a separate working or treatment space, while keeping your main studio calm, uncluttered and ready for clients.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing and see what you could do with it.
