Help Guiding and get recycling !

Companies and individuals in Upchurch can make cash from their trash for 1st Upchurch Guide Unit. The local Guide Unit has launched an innovative new appeal which raises funds through the recycling of mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges. The Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal is run by recycling experts Redeem plc and will help 1st Upchurch Guides make money from items normally thrown in the bin.

The people of Upchurch can show their support for the appeal by donating their old mobile and PDA handsets and used printer cartridges. The Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal will give 1st Upchurch guides cash for each reusable item received on their behalf.

Local businesses can also help the appeal by saving their used printer cartridges and phones.  Taking part is easy and completely free as the Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal will arrange collection from their premises. Not only will recycling allow companies to raise funds for 1st Upchurch Guides it will also boost their green credentials.

Supporting the appeal has a positive impact on the environment as it diverts mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges from landfill. These items contain toxic substances which, if they are dumped, can leak into the surrounding soil and pollute the earth.  Donating them means they can be reused or disposed of safely.

To find out more and to sign up to help the appeal visit   www.guidesrecycle.com  or call
08451 30 20 10 quoting the Unit’s account number: VEN0396271

OR call Tracey on 01634 389271 for collections in the village,

or visit the Scout Hut, Oak Lane where you will find our collection box.
