Swop Shop 2012 – The start!
Patrick and Don't Touch (his dog)
Hooray! Recycle Swop Shop is back up and running! Yesterday we saw many of our faithful regulars back with their Loyalty cards and lots of recycling.
Patrick and his Dog “Don’t Touch” were there with 19 bags of recycling which he brings to Swop Shop loaded up in a trolley. He has difficulty walking after a car accident back in 2010. Last week Keagan, one of our volunteers, ran to help Patrick push his trolley down the steep entrance and “Don’t Touch” ran towards him barking and warning him to keep away! Keagan was fine! It was actually great to see such a good relationship between a Man and his Dog. We don’t currently stock dog food at the Recycle Swop Shop, but if you would like to donate some bags to help feed Dogs like “Don’t Touch”, please email us. Maria@beyonded.org
We collected a total of 1266 kg of recycling.
Cardboard & Paper = 466 kg
Plastic = 506 kg
Glass = 273 kg
Tin = 21 kg
