Recycling/upcycling/crafts
Hi one and all,
I have recently moved to Playa and I have a few queries
1. Are there any recycling facilities? What I mean is in the UK in every supermarket car park there are giant bins, one for bottles, one for cans, one for plastic etc. I was just wondering if there is anything similar in Playa?
2. I am a keen 'upcycle-er' that means I take 'rubbish' and turn it into art or something useful like a lamp shade or a waste paper basket. My husband wasn't too keen on using luggage space for what he calls 'rubbish' (but what I call creations waiting to happen!) so unfortunately I had to leave my arts and craft things in the UK. If anyone would like to recycle to following items instead of throwing them in the garbage please think about donating them to me, I will be happy to collect!
The things I tend to use are.....
Magazines
Corks from wine bottles (one project can use up to 100 corks, I just can't drink all that wine in a week!)
Bottle tops (the plastic ones, do you know they take 450 years to biodegrade?)
Natural String
Old paint
Inside of toilet rolls
Any craft things that wouldn't get used otherwise i.e. ribbons, buttons, glue, card, I try not to waste anything!
If you have any of these things that would otherwise end up in a landfill please think about donating them to me, PM me and let me know where I can collet.
Thanks a bunch!
