In the charity's own words
Our community recycling projects include producing three recycling directories (covering the whole of Dorset). These advertise the needs of not-for-profit organisations for items which people are throwing away. We also run 9 Win on Waste sessions each month, (welcoming 4000 households in 2022), in Dorset where communities come together to donate items from their waste to benefit good causes.
