Every year, over 28 million tonnes
of rubbish is created by households in the UK. Unwanted clothes,
CDs, even foreign currency can all be turned into cash to help
support the work of Help the Aged. Follow the links below to find
out more:
Clothes, CDs, curtains and bric-a-brac (new
window) - Help the Aged shops function like mini
recycling centres. Clear out unwanted clothes, household
textiles, books, CDs and bric-a-brac while helping older people
and doing your part for the environment.
Mobile phones (new window) - Do you
have an unwanted mobile phone sitting at home? Donate it to Help
the Aged and it can be transformed into vital funds for the
charity.
Stamps (new window) - Why not collect
stamps at home or within your workplace for Help the Aged?
Toner cartridges (new window) - It
takes 1.5 pints of oil to make a toner cartridge. By recycling
cartridges for Help the Aged you will help raise funds for older
people while reducing landfill and preserving resources.
Foreign currency (new window) - Over
£100 million of foreign currency is currently lying around in UK
homes. Help turn that unwanted currency into cash for
disadvantaged older people.
Schools and colleges (new window) -
Schools and colleges can make a big difference to older peoples'
lives, simply by collecting unwanted
goods.
