Although Livability Holton Lee doesn’t have a specified day for collecting items of waste they are still doing well with people dropping the items off.  Last month and some of this they received 11 carrier bags of waste from 35 households.

The Merley Win on Waste session held in the Lantern Church on Saturday 19 January received 35 carrier bags of items from 49 households including businesses.  All the items will now be helping 16 good causes.  Another great result.

Items of waste from 178 households including businesses were received at Southbourne Win on Waste on Saturday 19 January in Southbourne Library.  The 57 carrier bags of waste will be helping 16 good causes rather than end up in the bin.  Here’s a photo showing just a few of the items.

Kinson – Kinson Library 10.30-11.30am

Westbourne – Westbourne Library 10-11am

There is no Ashley Cross session this Saturday as it took place earlier this month.

19 kilos of used pens have been donated by Winton Primary and St Aldhelm’s Schools.  Guarded by the dog of one of our Ambassador’s, the pens will be sent off to TerraCycle and made into new plastic.  The money raised goes to Research into Brain Tumours.
