Why Recycle
Environmental Impact
Recycling helps protect the environment. Recycling reduces the need for extracting, refining and processing raw materials all of which create air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
For Support
We can utilise some of the new items donated to us by passing them on to our beneficiaries who are struggling financially.
We may use items as part of our work at programs or events.

4,615 individual items such as DVDs, CD's & Books
