Hurrah, we've come third in another Terracycle competition! 😍🤗 This time, the charity Action Against Hunger will benefit to the tune of £100. We should be in a position to pay out by the end of the year. 😁 We'll be in touch. @TerraCycleUK @ACF_UK Hovis Bakery

Can you help? Can you collect in your work place, in a community group, or amongst family and friends? 🤔🙏 THE ENVIRONMENT NEEDS YOU! You really can help to make a difference, by saving more waste from landfill, and making more money for charity. @redcafemumbles Mary’s Meals
NB. We can only recycle and raise money for items and packaging on the list, as determined by the scheme sponsors. Everything else is useless, however 'similar' you think it might be. Any questions, please ask. @stdavidscps Mary’s Meals @redcafemumbles docs.google.com/document/d/1B1…
This is the largest amount of recycling we've had ready to send off on one day so far. 🤩 #waronplastic #recycling Keep Wales Tidy Recycle Now Swansea Recycles ♻ @TerraCycleUK Walkers Crisps @GarnierUK KP Snacks Colgate UK McVitie's Hovis Bakery Pringles UK & Ireland Burt's Bees UK

We've nearly hit the 15kg minimum weight to send our first box of pens off to be recycled 😁 If you have a secret stash of dead pens, please drop them off to us! Can you collect in your workplace or school? 🤔 Please get in touch. BIC Swansea Council Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall 964thewave
Come on guys, help us make it to ✨£1,000✨ Unfortunately Walkers Crisps will only be paying £1/kg now not £2/kg, so it will be harder. Seems Mariah Carey was worth £9million, but saving millions of crisp packets produced every day from landfill isn't 😥 Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall A Plastic Planet
