Rotary Recycles

Rotary is re-using for charity

Rotary Club of Braids is delighted to launch a charity collection with a difference. We’re collecting things you might throw away – but we can reuse, recycle or sell them with 100% proceeds going to charity.

Look out for our bright red swing bins in various locations in south Edinburgh. Many businesses and other organisations have agreed to help. You can find our special bins at Eric Liddell Community and Trinity Factors in Morningside, Edinburgh News at 127 Comiston Road, Home Hub at 14 Buckstone Terrace and Liberton Kirk, Paper Rack at 145 Liberton Brae and Liberton Post Office at 4a Liberton Gardens.

We will welcome donations of these specific items – all of which are reused in the poorest countries, or sold to travellers, collectors, currency dealers and on eBay etc.

• Harry Potter books in any condition (sold via our partners - The Elephant House)
• Foreign and old British currency – notes, coins and obsolete currency of every sort
• Spectacles are reused – especially in India and Africa
• Sunglasses go to Tanzania where there’s a high concentration of albinism
• Spectacle cases – well known branded cases sell well on eBay
• Mobile phones of any age, condition and quality. Sold for important precious metals.
