Turn Your Packaging Into Funds for Local Charities!
Loughborough Lawn Tennis Club have become recycling collectors for international recycling group Terracycle in order to raise money for charity. We are part of the company's 'Tassimo Bridage' which means we are looking to collect used Tassimo discs from anyone in the area to send off for recycling (a number of the discs cannot be recycled in regular local plastic recycling collections). In return, Terracycle will award points for each item recycled for us to turn in to cash to award to charities.
At the time of going to press, we're the only Tassimo Brigade in the Charnwood area and We're looking to collect as many Tassimo discs and foil packaging wrappers as possible to make our environmental and charitable contributions as large as possible so please contact Jonny Rudge at jonny@insideouttennis.com or bring them to our club (situated at the bottom of Ingle Pingle lane, off Forest Road, just before Emmanuel Church and opposite the William Davis offices).
We've intially nominated 3 charities to award our points to, 2 local and one international:
- Rainbows Hospice in Loughborough
- STEPS Conductive Education Centre in Shepshed
- The Inga Foundation who are helping traditionally poor (and environmentally harmful) slash and burn farmers around the world to farm in a more sustainable and profitable way and reforest deforested areas
Please help us generate as many funds as possible for charity by bringing us your Tassimo Discs!
