• CASH FOR CLOBBER COLLECTION

  Fri 07 Apr 2017

  As you know we are taking part in the Cash for Clobber scheme as we work towards our Eco-school Green Flag award. The scheme is aimed at raising awareness of textile recycling among children and to show how essential it is for everyone in the ‘developed world’ to reduce, reuse and recycle and is also a great way of raising funds for our school. Schools which collect the most textiles per pupil are in with a chance to win the annual ‘Cash for Clobber’ competition with fantastic prizes of up to £1,500.

   

  So far this school year your unwanted textile donations raised £232 for our school. Fantastic effort everyone! Our Eco-School Committee have decided that they would like to use the money raised to purchase new P.E. and sports equipment which will benefit all the pupils in our school.

   

  On Wednesday 12^th April, we are having our next bag drop collection. Bags of clean, unwanted textiles may be left in the school assembly hall next week for collection by Cookstown Textile Recyclers, one of the Eco-school program partners, who will sort and recycle. Low grade material is used for industrial wipers and fillings, good quality clothes are re-used in the developing world. 

   

  Why not have a Spring  clear out of old and unwanted items? Perhaps you could encourage family and friends to donate their unwanted textiles too? 

   

  What can you put in the bag??

   

  All types of clothing (even with holes!)

  •      Bags and shoes (please tie shoes together with laces)
    • Hats and belts
    • Towels and curtains
    • Bed linen (sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers)  
    • Remember all items must be clean.

   

  Many thanks for your continued  support.
