Recycling for Charity Scheme

by Wasteless Market in Welling, Greater London, United Kingdom

We're still collecting donations

On the 24th January 2025 we'd raised £46 with 3 supporters in 84 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

1730470901_recycle-station-charity-zero-wasteless-market-erith-exchange-2-300x200.jpgSince 2019, Wasteless Market has held drop-off events where people can bring their hard-to-recycle plastic packaging, confident that it does get recycled, with the bonus of a charitable donation for every kg collected. Since 2019 we have raised over £580 for Kent Air Ambulance and other charities, and saved well over 500 kg of packaging from incineration, sending it to specialist recycling companies such as Terracycle,  who turn the waste into products such as picnic benches, children's playground equipment, planters and more. 

In 20201730471267_blister_packs_box.jpg we responded to popular demand by purchasing our first box to enable us to accept medicinal blister packs, which are not part of any of the free recycling schemes. Since then we have sent off nearly 1000 litres of blister packs to be recycled.

As it is now possible to recycle blister packs in Boots stores in Bexleyheath, Crayford and Bluewater, we are now winding down our blisterpack scheme. Any donations received will be put to good use supporting our eco markets and charitable recycling schemes. 

Although our events are staffed by volunteers, there are expenses involved, such as insurance, hire charges for some venues, and other admin costs. As a not-for-profit company, Wasteless Market's directors are grateful for the generous help of our supporters.
