This is our Freecycle system.

It operates by people who no longer have a use for an item placing it on the Freecycle list - free of charge - making it available to anyone who may have further use for it. If you have anything you would like to offer, please see Kate at the Walking Table on the community morning or contact me through the link on this website.

Could anyone who no longer has the advertised items available, please contact me on the link, so they can be removed.

Some of the things we have recycled recently include - a dining table and chairs, a sewing machine, jigsaws, some musical instruments and a pressure cooker.

If you see something you may want, please contact me, by the email link. I will put you in touch with the person offering the item.

ON OFFER

2 bicycles in good condition

GENERAL RECYCLING

We have a plan to collate information about where you can locally recycle everyday waste that cannot go in our current recycling rubbish bins. This information is regularly announced at coffee mornings and sometimes in our newsletter.

If you still have unwanted items of jewellery, Heart Research UK is relaunching its 'Treasure Your Heart' campaign, in partnership with Beaverbrooks. They encourage people to donate any unwanted or broken jewellery. It will then be auctioned off with all proceeds going to fund research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease.

Any jewellery can be donated, be it watches, costume, broken, odd or just not worn enough.

Envelopes can be found in all Beaverbrooks stores nationwide and dropped back in the store once filled.

You can also request an envelope via Heart Research UK's website and send it back directly to them.

We have requested some envelopes and hope to have them available shortly.

Used postage stamps, foreign coins, batteries and spectacles are collected at the door.

B&Q will recycle small electrical or electronic products as well as lightbulbs and fluorescent bulbs. Currys also re-cycle electricals.
