In early 2009, the newspapers tell us that recycled materials are being stored in warehouses, shipped to China, or even sent to landfill. This is not true for the papers put in our paper bank here in Little Wenlock. It is delivered direct to a Paper Mill located in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, and recycled into newsprint which is used for printing newspapers within the UK. Not only that we are paid £5 per tonne for the paper itself, plus around £40 per tonne from the Council for keeping it out of landfill. This added up to our local paper bank raising over £450 last year for local funds. This sum has been rising each year and has now raised a total of over £4000.

So please support our local paper bank behind the Huntsman by bringing your newspapers, magazines, office paper, junk mail, catalogues, old phone books and yellow pages.
