Day 7: Reduce landfill, recycle bras

Sunday saw a big clean up and sort out of the house. We moved in nearly 9 months ago now but we just dumped clothes in drawers and haven't had a chance to sort through! I was astonished to discover that I had nearly 9 bras I didnt want. You can't really give your smalls to charity shops, although they would probably recycle them, but I remembered reading about a charity that asks for second hand bras for Africa.

The website is called www.smallsforall.org and actually prefers us to buy new bras and pants for them to send, but will also take our second hand smalls to recycle to make some cash for the charity. I'm only sending my package to Livingston, and i hope that the carbon footprint of their delivery has been considered given that they'll bulk ship the items over.

The address to send smalls to is:

Smalls For All
108 Buchanan Crescent,
Eliburn, Livingston, EH54 7EF.

I think that all my bras fit into the 'gently worn' category so will just get passed directly on to those who need them. Glad to think that they'll get a new lease of life somewhere!
