Clothes Recycling
Please help!
We want your unwanted clothes, curtains, shoes and other textiles...

We are teaming up with European Textile Recycling to help raise funds for the school. To do this we would like your help.

Please gather together any unwanted usable/wearable clothes, shoes, towels, curtains, handbags, belts, bedding (but not pillows or quilts) and textiles.

Please put the items into the yellow bag provided or any other plastic bag if you fill it.

The last collection day to bring your filled bag to school is Tuesday 2 February.

European Textiles will weigh the clothes and the school will be paid for every kilo that is collected. £300 per tonne, one tonne is around 180 bags.

Mobile Phones
Before Christmas we sent out a leaflet regarding recycling mobile phones. Please continue to bring mobile phones into school to be recycled. For every 200 phones collected school receives £300 and you can choose a prize. If you need another leaflet please ask at the office. You can also visit www.fones4school.co.uk for further details regarding prizes available.
