They say that one person's rubbish is another person's treasure - this is certainly true for Doorway which has just launched a new Recycling Appeal that will turn old mobile phones and used printer cartridges into much needed funds for the organisation.

Doorway is running their fundraising recycling campaign in partnership with experts at the Recycling Appeal, who will give the drop-in centre up to £25 for every mobile phone and around £1 for every printer cartridge collected.

Margaret Cleverley, Doorway's Project Manager said; " Lots of offices and individuals bin their inkjet and toner cartridges - why not donate them instead? You will be helping our valuable work, and you'll be helping the environment at the same time."

When mobiles and cartridges are binned they end up in landfill sites where they can cause pollution - as they slowly break down, chemicals can leak into the surrounding soil. By recycling them, you protect the environment.

Doorway has already teamed up with several local businesses including Westaff and Westlea, who are recycling on behalf of the project to ensure that it can continue to provide an essential service for the homeless and marginalised adults in North Wiltshire.

Doorway can provide recycling boxes for your business premises or freepost envelopes if you are an individual.

Doorway would like to thank everyone who is currently supporting the Recycling Appeal
