MOTIVATING COMMUNITIES TO TAKE ACTION
We’re proper fed up with stuffing so much cardboard in the bin, even if it is recycled. So we’re ‘upcycling’ it into useful and attractive boxes, say to use for magazines, wastepaper or tidying chargers. You will have a choice to bring your own pre-prepared box (cut into strips) or one we prepare for you.
