Bag a bargain
Pershore residents can bag
more than a bargain this April when they can get a free Jute bag
with purchases at their local charity shop – while stocks last.
Charity shops in Pershore have joined forces
with the Love Food Hate Waste campaign by giving away free jute
bags to their first 20 customers, starting on Saturday 7
April.
Charity shops play a vital role in helping
prevent usable goods going to landfill, by providing an outlet for
clothes and household items such as furniture, electrical items and
general bric-a-brac to be re- homed and used again.
Councillor Anthony Blagg, Cabinet
Member for Environment and Waste Management said: "Love
Food Hate Waste is all about providing simple hints and tips to
help people to reduce the amount of perfectly edible food that gets
wasted. What's more, by reducing our food waste, we can all save
money on our food bill".
"I am pleased to be working with the local
charity shops not only to promote the Love Food Hate Waste campaign
but to encourage people to shop in charity shops and prevent items
ending up in landfill."
Charity shops participating
include Oxfam, Blue Cross, St Richard's Hospice, Acorns and Cat's
Protection.
