We’ve received literally tons of donations to our textile recycling banks at fire stations across the UK. We’ll be tallying up the results and announcing the winners of the Bag it and Bank it Recycling Championship in the next couple of weeks. Thank you to all of you who helped spread the word about our campaign online and in your local community. We’ve highlighted some of your posts and tweets below.
