Westbourne’s Waste Helps Good Causes

We received donations from 39 people at Westbourne Win on Waste on Saturday 29 April.  A record!  Thanks to their donations of envelopes, corks, deodorant cans, Tassimo coffee discs, milk bottle tops, biscuit wrappers, stamps, cleaning products, postcards, jigsaw puzzle pieces, sweet wrappers and jam jars, seven good causes have benefitted and less waste has gone into rubbish and recycling bins.

Here’s Monique, Janet, Barbara and Rachel showing off some of the donations.
