Dorset-based waste and recycling charity Win on Waste is thrilled to announce the return of its waste collection session to Southbourne.
The session previously operated from Southbourne Library, prior to Covid, but will now take place at Immanuel URC Church on the third Saturday of each month.
The first session takes place on Saturday 21st September, 10.30-11.30, and the volunteer team will welcome local people to bring along a range of hard-to-recycle items – such as Pringles tubes, Dental waste and corks – these items will then be diverted to raise funds for local and national charities.
Win on Waste’s Business Manager, Stacey Woods, said ‘A dedicated group of people in Southbourne, has been asking us for this session for quite a while – we’re now delighted to be able to bring it back!’
She continued ‘All of our work is carried out by local volunteers and, while we have a great team in place for the session, we would love to hear from people who might have a few hours each month to give back to their community and the local environment’.
Win on Waste acts for the protection and preservation of the environment by encouraging and empowering local people to learn about the origins of their household waste and how to reduce their impact on the planet.
We advance the education of the public about all aspects of waste generation and recycling by highlighting waste reduction and recycling initiatives and, where household waste cannot be avoided, we help by redirecting common waste items towards charities and organisations that can use them for their own projects or fundraising.
