Recycling volunteer on first Saturday of each month

• Recycle Ayr

• VO102711

Recycle Ayr is a volunteer led group that started over 2 years ago and we meet on the first Saturday of every month at Newton Primary School with our main objective of reducing landfill waste by recycling, up cycling or reusing donations to benefit the people of Ayrshire and beyond. This is achieved by people in the community bringing unwanted items that will benefit others.
The group also support the local community of Wallacetown in the provision of furniture, clothing and household items.
The collections are also used to support charity fundraising by collecting items that can be converted for cash.

The list of items accepted is considerable and is constantly evolving. Donated items are then used in a variety of ways in order to benefit a number of causes and persons. For example, donated milk bottle tops are passed to Pathfinder Dogs, a charity which helps visually impaired people; stationery is passed to local schools; jewellery and watches go to Kidney Research UK; used stamps are passed on to Bone Cancer Research Trust UK; used fabrics go to sewing groups for upcycling; and blankets etc. are passed on by Newton Primary School to refugees and other needy families in the area
