Oxfam recycling…
It’s incredible what can be done with random old CDs and that worn-out sweater that just can’t be sold. So let’s all donate to the charities that we know and trust from now on. It’s once again made clear that Oxfam is probably Britain’s best charity. Because of their size they deal with massive amounts of stuff every day, and they have been able to create these systems that really DO minimise how much is sent to landfill.
So don’t throw out your holey shirts, Oxfam will know better, and give a donation to cover their costs if you really think the materials are of no value.
Jo Carroll reports from her visit at the sorting centre:
Like most of us, I’ve been giving my unwanted clothes and books to charity shops for years. While I’ve always dreamed that my cast offs have been bought, worn and loved by someone new, the reality is that not everything donated gets sold…
- This was the mountain of clothes already piled up by 10am.
