Can i pick your brain and ask for any ideas / support in establishing my milk bottle top recyling scheme .It is in my profile

I visted your scrap store last year to donate after clearing my fathers own resource centre ! he had built up over many years.

I the process of donating everthing to somewhere else and not the skip i learnt that Wands do not cover some key areas such as paint , flower pots and rigid / mixed plastics.(most went to Thrive and lambeth facility)

This grew into a keen interest as to why and i found the Green centre in Brighton. I now recyle all my office plastic milk bottles and have started an ambitious scheme to collect milk bottle tops ........................... any way would the Franciscan road staff would like to collect aswell? i am very local to your site ans could collect .Love the sounds of orchestra and choir

sorry if bit cheeky new to site not sure of how it all works as yet
ps your scheme if fab still trying to rehome as woodwork teaching aides fab sheets re tools joints and different types of wood around the world on A3+ posters/ boards.

Kind Regards
jane

Sorry you missed us at the Bowls Club last week - I was there from about 7.45, so not sure what happened but apologies for your wasted journey. We are meeting on 23rd Nov to create a plan of action on both the garden and the wider Transition, so please do come along.

Best wishes, Emma
