Help Guiding and get recycling!

Companies and individuals in (name of town) can make cash from their trash for (name of group).  The local Guide Unit has launched an innovative new appeal which raises funds through the recycling of mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges. The Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal is run by recycling experts Redeem plc and will help (name of group) make money from items normally thrown in the bin.

The people of (name of town) can show their support for the appeal by donating their old mobile and PDA handsets and used printer cartridges.  The Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal will give (name of group) cash for each reusable item received on their behalf.

Local businesses can also help the appeal by saving their used printer cartridges and phones.  Taking part is easy as the Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal will arrange collection from their premises. Not only will recycling allow companies to raise funds for (name of group), it will also boost their green credentials.

Supporting the appeal has a positive impact on the environment as it diverts mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges from landfill.  These items contain toxic substances which, if they are dumped, can leak into the surrounding soil and pollute the earth.  Donating them means they can be reused or disposed of safely.
