Recycling pays off for Chester charities
Feb 25 2010 by Jo Henwood, Chester Chronicle
RECYCLED clothes and textiles have helped bring in the cash for city charities.
Emma White of Chronicle-backed Miles of Smiles received a cheque for £300 from Charlotte Brown of The Dee-Tex project, which is based in River Lane in Saltney. The textiles are recycled through pink recycling banks. Sainsbury's staff members also received a similar amount on behalf of their official charity Chester Aid to the Homeless.
Emma said: “There are five recycling banks in Saltney, Blacon and Buckley which give us a regular annual income and we are looking for further sites in Chester.”
