RECYCLING banks at fire stations across Wiltshire have contributed to the Fire Fighters Charity raising over £1 million in just four years.
The scheme focuses on textiles, including unwanted clothing, shoes and household items. Wearable items are sent to Third World countries while unwearable items are recycled into car insulation and furniture padding.
Chief executive John Parry said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has recycled with us over the last four years. We do, however, need people to continue to support the scheme and help us keep firefighters fit, healthy and happy so they can continue saving lives.”
