De-clutter and Recycle

Small things make a big difference

Up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be recycled, and you will be surprised at how many items can be recycled for the benefit of charities. The Catholic Children’s Society (Plymouth) in partnership with a collector in Plymouth will change your clutter into cash!
 
Orange collection boxes are now in parishes and schools throughout the diocese. Please place your stamps and things in the boxes and every box filled will raise £10 which the Society can use to help the children in our Diocese.

What can you put in the box?

STAMPS used or unused, UK or foreign. Stamps should be left on envelopes or cards, leaving about half a centimetre round the edges. They shouldn’t be peeled off as this reduces their value.
POSTCARDS with or without stamps
FOREIGN CURRENCY notes or coins
KEYS with or without their locks
WATCHES digital or analogue, working or not
MEDALS and METAL BADGES
