Children of Brunel school, Saltash, excited by their new playground, Thanks to our Recycling for Charity project who won a NATIONAL CONTEST. The playground is made in part from old food storage containers and reusable drinks bottles collected across our catchment area. Over one tonne of these items was boxed up by our volunteers and sent to TerraCycle to be processed. Thank you everyone that had a declutter and donated items to us.
In addition, based on the shipments we sent, Sistema, the sponsor, has donated £1699 to KICKS COUNT our nominated charity, who aim to reduce UK stillbirths. An absolutely amazing result.
Join in the Recycling excitement and help us make money for charities from household items normally thrown away. Manufacturers, WARBURTON, MCVITIES, CATHEDRAL CHEESE, MARIGOLDS, and others dictate what we can send to be recycled and raise money for charity and good causes.
Is your school or group actively collecting for us? Contact Ali cornwallrecycling@outlook.com
- The manufacturers that sponsor the programmes dictate what can be accepted.
- Please sort items into the different programmes, not all mixed together. Bring to a drop off where we can help you.

Remember its not the packet it’s what was in the packet that is important, its the manufacturers that give money to our charities .
