CUTLERY COLLECTION

We were delighted to help the AOK Rucksack Appeal find the cutlery they wanted to make up sets for the care kits they prepare for homeless people.  The Borough of Poole New To You warehouse contains good quality items rescued from landfill for sale. The Council were able to donate  cutlery previously taken to the tip. It’s great that the knives, forks and teaspoons have a new use, especially for a good cause like helping homeless people.

DORSET CANCER CARE TOILETRIES APPEAL

Dorset Cancer Care are looking for the following: any facial make-up, hair care, bath care and hand care products (including nail polishes).  There are three strands to this:

1. New items are used for their raffles
2. Partly-used items are sent abroad to 
3. Empty and almost empty containers are sorted and recycled.

We particularly like the idea that they will take partly-used ones and will do some recycling too. All proceeds from sales remain here in Dorset to help local people suffering from cancer. 

If you come to Win on Waste sessions then please bring any toiletries for donation to the next session on 20th August.  If you don’t please email Annie at Dorset Cancer Care to organise handover arrangements.
