During the Neath North launch event many residents from Leonard Street enquired how they could get rid of items if they had no transport to the local civic amenity site. With that in mind I set about organising a community skip event where residents are invited to utilise the skip to dispose of unwanted items responsibly.
On arriving I thought we were in for a quiet day, how wrong could you be? Residents bought out an eclectic mix of items including bricks, rubble, furniture, rabbit hutch, desk chair, trampoline, gaming chair, prams, bicycles, broken patio furniture even an old toilet - in fact everything including a kitchen sink!
In no time at all the entire skip was filled and residents were thanking me enthusiastically for this initiative. We left Leonard Street knowing that we had improved the environments of over 25 households and a full skip was en-route for recycling at the local site in Briton Ferry.
