Village Shop now has Recycle Bins (Posted 10/10/2012)

The Felbridge Village Store will have two recycle bins placed outside the premises, one for old shoes and one for old clothes. As you know we do not currently have any provisions for the residents of Felbridge to be able to donate their old shoes and clothes to charities in terms of a collection point. The Village Shop therefore asked The United Shoe Recycling Company to place two of their bins outside our store for the resident of Felbridge. These items will be sent by them to developing countries to help people less fortunate than us to get on their feet. We think its a great idea and were hoping that residents will make full use of these facilities
