The weather was sunny and so was the disposition of the residents who joined us to fill a skip with nearly 2 tonnes of rubbish in Neath North on Wednesday 27th July. A lovely couple completely emptied their rear yard and were looking forward to using it for a family BBQ at the weekend! They kindly kept us well supplied with tea and kit-kat’s throughout the morning and beguiled us with their memories of how the street used to be before the flyover was installed!
A variety of articles were also swapped on the day, including a desk chair, bicycle and wood for garage shelves! The best form of recycling is to reuse items as this reduces the amount of energy required to recycle or re-make the item and also reduces the amount of raw materials required.
