We are asking readers to show
that they “CAN DO IT” by taking all their aluminium cans to registered
disposal points in Farnham and Haslemere areas for them to be recycled.
If we get a million recycled the
Hospice will be better off by £8,000.
It is, we hope you agree, a
fusion of two excellent causes; a commitment to recycling and a helping
hand for an organization close to the hearts of the community.
Companies, schools, groups, pubs,
restaurants, sports clubs… we’re asking you all to rise to this
challenge.
Click
here for a directory of all the locations. We invite you to start the
drive to collecting one million cans.
We must stress that only
aluminium can scan be accepted. Seventy-three
per cent of soft drinks cans are aluminium, and the majority of breweries
use aluminium for their cans. If
in doubt, check to that the cans bear the ALU mark.
So, would you be prepared to have
a collection container on your premises?
You won’t have to transport the
container to the recycling center. This
will be emptied by T. Baker (Jnr) Ltd. (Non Ferrous Metal Merchants) in
Wrecclesham, Farnham. It will
just require a telephone call to say the collection container is full.
Bakers will pay the Farnham
Hospice for all the used aluminium drinks cans.
Remember, one million cans
collected means £8,000 for the Hospice.
If you are willing to provide a
site for a collection container, please contact The Community
Fundraiser on 01252 729433.
We hope to see our readers
pushing to get that total up to one million cans.
There will be frequent updates in
The Herald, with reports and pictures of those groups/clubs/companies who
are setting pace. One million aluminium cans could enable the Phyllis Tuckwell to purchase two special pressure-relieving mattresses, for example, or buy a hoist for moving patients and two electric beds. A million cans could also be used to fund the cost of caring for the patients who attend Day Care for a whole month.
