All sorted!!!
Ladies from the community sorting the plastic
Yesterday we made another great step forward for the Recycle Swop Shop! We started sorting our recycling! We have contracts with 2 different recycling venders that pickup and pay us for our recycling!
Sorting 2 and a half tonnes of recycling is not for the faint hearted, but with a handful of enthusiastic volunteers we managed it all in a few hours. Our team of 3 ladies, headed up by A.J. (volunteer), sorted the 4 different types of plastic into big sugar bags. They worked extremely efficiently and the job was done by 1pm. All the plastic was loaded up and removed by 1.30pm. Well done, what a great team effort! The cardboard was then separated and packed into more huge sugar bags. The glass and tin was also separated and packed into drums.
This project has grown and developed so quickly we have hardly been able to keep up with the changes, but have kept true to our principles, one of those is to be a self sustainable Swop Shop. Today we marvel at the realisation of this and yes, our prayers have been answered!
