Fundraise by recycling
Help us raise funds and help recycling by donating your rubbish to us! We are part of the Terracycle recycling scheme where we can raise money from your unwanted rubbish, much of which will not be taken via the grey recycle bins.
Please collect the following and leave them in the box in the lobby at the den:
- Empty plastic pens, including felt tips. We receive 2p from each one. These are turned into plastic seating, bins and watering cans.
- Danone yogurt pots, washed out please. 2p for each one recycled. These are made into new pots.
- Danone Actimel pots, again washed out please.
- Old toothbrushes and empty toothpaste tubes, any brand. 2 pence to the group and the end product include garden seats, bins and soap dispensers.
- Packaging from Johnson's baby skincare wipes.
- Kenco Eco Refill packaging.
- Empty ink cartridges (not Epson). We receive £1 for each of these! These are refilled and reused over and over again.
- We can also receive money for recycling your old mobile phone.
All funds go back into the group and reduces the amount of our rubbish going into landfill. More information about Terracycle is at the Terracycle Website.
