Hi All :)
Found a site that encourages people to recycle Educational items in their local commuities. Its quite new, but seems, Hertfordshire, Cornwall and Devon seem to be steaming ahead, I managed to get a Brownie uniform free of charge for my daughter. All I had to do was join the site email the person giving the item and then arrange collection. I have now put some bits on myself, noticed there is a JUDO suit available and loads of other great stuff. Its Great and its all Free.
the site is
www.educationrecycle.net
Here is an extract from the front page.
Welcome to the Education recycle community. This site has been created for people to recycle their education-related items. Listing an item is free and easy! Visitors can email you to arrange collection.
Have fun I think its an amazing idea.
