Raise Money, Recycle and Benefit Your Environment
Information for Groups
Recycling really is a very easy way for you to raise money, whilst encouraging social responsibility to your members through recycling and supporting the environment. We supply you (at no cost to yourselves) with everything you will need to collect unwanted;
-
Jewellery
Old/New UK & Foreign Currency
Mobile Phones
We even provide a prize incentive for one pupil and arrange the valuation, sale and recycling of the collected items.
What Items do we ask for
We do not ask for valuable items - just unwanted jewellery, currency & mobile phones.
Jewellery - Donors can give absolutely any unwanted jewellery, odd earring, broken chain's, costume jewellery, broken watches, children's jewellery etc. In all materials; plastics, wood, bronze, gold, silver, metal etc. All items are recycled... the recycling of all these different materials has been the success of our project as we are able to turn peoples unwanted pieces into cash.
Foreign Currency -These can be from ANY country and any age, so all those obsolete pre euro notes and coins are a perfect start!
Mobile Phones – Any age & condition.
All you have to do is contact us. We will then send you a jewellery recycling kit
1st Waltham Brownies - September 2009
“When I first came across your leaflet - it sounded to good to be true (I wouldn't need to do anything)! Very easy to do, a great fundraiser with little effort.
Thank you for helping us boost our funds, such a great result! I will definitely contact you again.”
How Does It Work For Groups?
You simply contact us to register.
We will then send you:
· A poster and recycling information to display.
· A prize incentive for one of your members to win (please note this is a childs prize - therefore unsuitable for adult groups)
· Recycling envelopes
You simply distribute the freepost envelopes, allow two weeks for your members to post their envelopes hold the prize draw, then we will collect from you.
Your parents/members can donate any unwanted jewellery, gold, silver, odd earrings, broken chains, watches, costume jewellery etc.
Within eight weeks after receiving their donated jewellery, we will send you a cheque dependent on the total value of the collected items.
TOP TIP FOR A REALLY SUCCESSFUL EVENT!
If your members offer their families, friends and work colleagues a chance to join in and clear out their unwanted jewellery your results will improve.
Why Recycle?
Recycling reduces the demand for raw materials. This means less mining or quarrying. Many parts of the world have been blighted by mining and quarrying, which destroy the natural environment and wildlife habitats and can cause environmental and health problems for local people. Recycling is one way in which we can lessen our usage of resources and help protect the environment.
