Environment - Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle

Environment – Reuse; repurpose and recycle

During the month of February, would you like to check out your cupboards and rag bags, and see if you have rags or old clothes that are not good enough to send to the Op Shop?

We will do a collection this month of the clean rags/clothes that you no longer require/use.

These rags can be used for multiple purposes eg. Insulation; rags in garages and other purposes. Let us keep these rags out of landfill and put them to goo use.

We will take them into Geelong at the end of February and have them sent to the appropriate factory

Thank you 

Linda and Judy
