Help Save Our Environment and Raise Money by Recycling

We are raising funds for safe water/sanitation programmes by recycling old mobile phones, inkjet cartridges and laser/toner cartridges. See LIST for  wanted items. Simply hand items with a LIST value and/or cellphones to any Buxton Rotarian, or drop them into the Buckingham Hotel,  Potters of Buxton, or the box in Buxton Methodist Church.
