The latest textile collections in Wellingborough throughout August have raised another £1000.00 for the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance

Well done residents in Wellingborough who recycled their clothes in August using the new textile collection. Your support has raised another £1000.00 for the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA).

DB Collections who operate the collection service picked up 20000kg of clothes over a four week period in August. They will donate £50.00 to WNAA for every tonne collected, so if you haven't already started using the new textile recycling service please support this worthy cause and recycle your clothes. Look out for your collection bag which will be delivered through your door. The next collections will be in October.
