Well the fayre went ahead at the weekend and true to my word I set up a recycling centre. It's a bit primitive looking I know, but it did the job and even survived the wind and the amazing heavy downpour of rain.
With bags available for plastic cups and containers, plastic bags, cans, tetra paks, as well as paper and card, the system was generally quite effective.
....especially as we saved this amount of "rubbish" from landfill...
.... leaving just two bags of real rubbish to put in the landfill bin.
I did get some ribbing over taking photos of recycling...but I couldn't resist...blog fodder and all that.
The best news is that the summer fayre helped to raise an extra £1200 to towards our imaginary world, which is what the event was really about.
ADDENDUM: Not school friends us such, but recently acquired recycling friends Mr & Mr Green over at myzerowaste.com have just been awarded Red Hot Blog of the Day by RedOrbit. Please take a visit and show your congratulations for their superb efforts and find out a new thing or two about Mr Green.
