Re: Recycling Christmas

[freebird]

Just had a reply back from our local council recycling department, who tell me that they do accept silicone release paper in with the paper recycling (in case anyone wants to know).

Does anyone still collect stamps? I've been tearing them off the Christmas card envelopes of they are Christmas stamps.

I found this link last night (I thought I really ought to do something with the pile of stamps which had been gathering dust since December!)

Does anyone know anywhere that takes plastic bottle tops, we have a black bag full as my sons school were collecting them for a charity but have stopped as the teacher organising it left

Gail, as far as I know, Lush collect them so if you have a Lush shop nearby you can take them there

Lush certainly we collecting plastic bottle tops a little while ago.

I've had a bit of a rebellion over the last couple of days and whilst tidying up have to admit sweeping bottle tops, milk bottle foils and various other things into the bin. I just haven't the energy to sort them all out and wash them.

i'll get over it and normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Our local hspice collects them, so maybe yours do too.

Gail - it's been ages!!

We take ours to Lush, but we don't have a branch very near, we leave it for when we go to Worcester or Cheltenham which means we have a good six months' worth. The Lush employees are trained to be bright and cheerful, so they always sound enthusiastic when I unload my bagful of tops, but it's far too much for the little cardboard container they provide in the shop so I'm not sure if I'm being a nuisance!
