Recycling for Charity.

Our Community Energy group SHARE joined the Terracycle, recycling program, in 2019, to save items from being incinerated, and raise money for charities. Thanks to the manufacturers sponsoring the different programmes.
April 2025 we have raised over £ 18,500 for charity our main charity is KICKS COUNT,  who aim to reduce UK stillbirths plus we’ve supported many local charities, schools and good causes. THANK YOU EVERYONE !! Amazing we can raise this sort of money on items usually thrown away, but can be made into new products Thanks to TERRACYCLE.

20 May 25 Ribbon cutting for the PLAYGROUND at Brunel school, Saltash
We sent TERRACYCLE just over ONE TONNE of plastic, made up of food containers, lunch boxes, reusable drinks bottles. That’s over 100 boxes weighing 10kg each. We earned points for every kilogram sent, translating into £1,148 to be paid directly to our nominated charity KICKS COUNT, dedicated to reducing UK’s stillbirths.
An amazing achievement !! Thank you to everyone that had a kitchen clear out for us and helped in so many ways.

Full list of items that you can recycle:

  • 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.
