Local charity BIBIC carries out free door-to-door collections of unwanted items and saves them from going to landfill to help the environment.
Geoff Cummins, the charity’s Chief Executive, explained: “The money raised from recycling these unwanted items goes towards our work changing the lives of children with developmental difficulties.”
“Not only will the donors feel that they have gained some extra space at home, but they will also feel great about saving these items from going to the dump and also helping children achieve a better life.”
BIBIC is a registered charity that receives no government funding and relies on support and donations to provide the life-changing help needed by many children and their families.
It helps children and young people aged from six months to 18-years-old with conditions affecting their social, communication and learning abilities to achieve their potential for a happier and more fulfilled life. These include developmental conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down’s Syndrome and brain injury.
BIBIC operates the door-to-door bag collection for unwanted clothes, shoes and bric-a-brac in good condition across the Burnham-On-Sea area. The charity can also collect furniture.
It is also able to recycle mobile phones, MP3 players, CDs, DVDs, empty printer cartridges and batteries, but requests people send in these items to its head office in Langport.
