NEW, FREE, EASY FUNDRAISER "JEWELLERY RECYCLING"
Please donate your unwanted Gold, Silver, Costume Jewellery and Watches

We have come up with a simple way for you to help boost the much needed funds of our charity and benefit your environment. We are running an unwanted Jewellery Recycling Collection.
Please donate any unwanted jewellery towards this recycling appeal; gold, silver, costume jewellery, watches… Then all your unwanted items can be turned into a donation for us

You can do a full ”spring clean” of your jewellery box or just give items you no longer wear. Even damaged, broken and incomplete items will help; so all the odd earrings and snapped chains are a great start!

To send your jewellery to us:
Parcel up your jewellery and post free of charge to:
Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust Ltd

RECYCLING

If you can, please ask your family, friends and colleagues to participate in this Jewellery Recycling Collection.

Why should I recycle? Recycling reduces the demand for raw materials. This means less mining or quarrying. Many parts of the world have been blighted by mining and quarrying, which destroy the natural environment and wildlife habitats and can cause environmental and health problems for local people. Recycling is one way in which our community can lessen their usage of resources and help protect the environment. Everything you give us is turned into cash for us, recycled and put to good use!

Thank you very much for your support


L&H CANAL ROUTES ON GOOGLE MAPS

Maps and pictures of the Lichfield Canal, Hatherton Canal and Lords Hayes Branch have been put on Nick's Canal Route Planner.
Go to the
Lichfield Canal page or the Hatherton Canal page for the links to more detailed maps and to take a virtual tour.
If you have any photos email Steve Szulc who will be happy to upload them to the site as well as any comments or corrections.


RECYCLING FOR CASH

What do you do with your old mobile phone handset when you get an upgrade? A recycling company will pay up to £10 for them (possibly more).
It is estimated there are on average 2 redundant mobile phones lying in homes across the country. If we could gather 2000 this year it could be worth at least £10,000 to the Trust.

The Waterway Recovery Group collects used stamps and printer ink cartridges to be recycled for cash.

Any items you have can be handed in to the L&H stand at any of the shows where we are present - see the Diary Page

Will you help us? Have a search and see what you can find. Ask friends and family too!


CAN WE HAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS?

We would like to update our membership details to include email addresses.
This would mean we could keep members informed of events and hot news items without having to wait up to three months for the next edition of Cut Both Ways.

If you are reading this there's a good chance you do have email. If you would like us to be able to use it to contact you, please send us a message. To help us identify you please quote your address, or membership number if you know it.
Oh and by the way - please remember to let us know if your email address changes!
