More than 930 people brought their cardboard to us on Saturday, sending a strong message to the Council that kerbside collections need to be reinstated. We’re still just waiting for the final figures but it should be at least 5 tonnes of cardboard prevented from going into landfill. Thanks to everyone who gave us their cardboard and the generosity of our 48 volunteers and local companies giving their time and resources for free, we’ll have raised some cash for the Hospice and Hope House. Watch this space for the final scores on the doors and news of what happens next on cardboard collections for Shropshire.
In the meantime, please:
- sign the petition for kerbside collection on http://petitions.shropshire.gov.uk/petitions.ti/cardboard
- hang on to your cardboard if you have space; collecting cardboard for your neighbours, friends and workmates if you can; and
- share car loads to the Household Recycling Centre or collection points at Sainsbury’s and Morrison’s to keep those cardboard miles down.
Thanks! Ali and Katy
