Recycle

The Christie charity has launched a kerbside clothes recycling scheme in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. We are asking households to donate any unwanted clothes and shoes, which will be collected on a designated day from outside your house. Please look out for a leaflet or bag through your letter box over the coming months promoting the scheme and letting you know when we will be collecting in your area.

The scheme is being run by Care2Collect and The Christie charity will receive £50 for every tonne of textiles collected. A dedicated Christie customer helpline, 0844 873 2370, will be operated by Care2Collect's customer service team during normal office hours 9-5 (with an answer phone outside these hours) to handle any enquiries relating to the scheme.

Turn your old mobile phones into cash for The Christie. Send old phones to:

The Christie Recycling Appeal
C/O EMC Recycling
Freepost MID 23462
Burton on Trent
Staffs
DE14 1BR

If you have over 10 phones, you can arrange a FREE collection by contacting EMC on 01283 516259. Just inform them you are collecting in aid of The Christie Recycling Appeal and they will ensure we receive a donation from any phones collected.

You can recycle your old toner and inkjet cartridges and support The Christie at the same time. Contact TonerMan on 01606 49915 to request a collection box for your old printer toners and cartridges. Just let them know you want to support The Christie charity and once you have filled your box, contact TonerMan to arrange FREE collection. The Christie receives between 10p and £4 per toner, depending on the make and condition.
