Help us recycle and raise funds for our school!
We are taking part in the Cash for Clobber scheme again this term. This scheme is aimed at raising awareness of textile recycling among children and to show how essential it is for everyone in the ‘developed world’ to reduce, reuse and recycle and is also a great way of raising funds for our school. Schools which collect the most textiles per pupil are in with a chance to win the annual ‘Cash for Clobber’ competition with fantastic prizes of up to £1,500.
If you have any unwanted items, you can put them into a black bin bag and return to school on or before Friday 19th November. These will be collected by Cookstown Textile Recyclers, one of the Eco-school program partners, who will sort and recycle. Low grade material is used for industrial wipers and fillings, good quality clothes are re-used in the developing world.
Perhaps you could encourage family and friends to donate their unwanted textiles too?
What can you put in the bag??
- All types of clothing (even with holes!)
- Bags and shoes (please tie shoes together with laces)
- Hats and belts
- Towels and curtains
- Bed linen (sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers)
- Remember NO QUILTS OR PILLOWSand all items must be clean.
Many thanks for your continued support.
