Everyone is reminded about collecting bottle tops and bread tags for wheelchairs. These must be collected in separate bags.
Once full, they can be dropped off at Debra de Souza’s car outside Relton Hall on a Wednesday only, before 09:15.
The bags can also be handed to the recycling depot, which separates the milk, long life and ordinary 2l milk, juice, cold drink, fabric softener, bottled water, cooking oil and mayonnaise jar lids into a large dustbin bag and takes it to Debra’s royal blue Atos parked outside the main door.
It takes 2000kg of plastic milk and or juice bottle lids or 330kg of bread tags to obtain a wheelchair. The wheelchair is donated to a person in dire need. The tops and tags are sent to Gauteng via Sue Martin, who collects them from Pennington and has been doing so for about eight years. It keeps the plastic away from our beaches and ultimately out of the beautiful ocean.
