Cllr Dee Laws informs us :–
Pink Elephant clothing recycling units are being installed in Whittlesey.
These will replace the Salvation Army units removed from Grosvenor Road Car Park and possibly viewing other locations.
Hopefully, this should resolve the problem of black plastic bin liners & bags containing clothing being left and piling up in the area.
Pink Elephant Group specialises in recycled clothing and currently operates textile bank collections and recycling schemes across the country. These textile banks are bright pink in colour, to match the company name and brand. “We chose such a name and such a colour to attract more attention to our work and to the recycling and reuse of textiles,” explained Oleksii Kotyk, Director. “We understand that it takes less energy to reuse and recycle material than it does to produce the same material from scratch. Therefore, our emphasis on what we accept and don’t accept are written on our textile banks to promote the reuse of clothing. 90% of what goes in our textile banks is reusable, but 10% of the material still goes to landfill.”
