Lancing resident is raising funds for local charities and groups by recycling the "unrecyclable"

Sue Wellfare from Lancing in West Sussex, is spearheading a fundraising initiative for a wide variety of charities and local groups including SERV Sussex, Care for Veterans and Electric Storm Youth amongst others, by collecting and recycling “unrecyclable” items from the community.

Sue first started collecting in 2011 and has since joined several of TerraCycle’s Free Recycling Programmes, enabling her to establish a drop-off point for "hard-to-recycle" items. Today, Sue has two drop off locations in Lancing available for the community to bring their waste: Douglas the Drop Off bin is located at 34 Firle Road North Lancing and at the Adur Voluntary Action/Electric Storm Youth office.

The programmes Sue has joined include: Air, Home and Laundry Care, Aqua Optima, Babybel®, Burt’s Bees®, Cathedral City, Ferrero Pralines and Kinder, Food Storage, Living Proof Hair Care, Marigold, Paula’s Choice, Pladis, Pringles®, Spontex Gloves, Taylors of Harrogate Coffee and Yorkshire Tea, Warburtons Bakery and Warburtons Wax, Free Recycling Programmes. These programmes enable the collection of items such as coffee pouches, Pringles tubes, and cheese packaging to name a few. These items are not included in council kerbside recycling collections, so have traditionally been destined for landfill or incineration.
