Street-re-Cycle: send us your stories of the day – and 8th September will be the next

We hope you enjoyed the Street-re-Cycle today. A special thank-you to all the households taking part, and to those who visited and gave new homes to so many things.

Would you be willing to tell us your stories of the day? Which item were you most delighted to become the new owner of? Or if you were a householder, which item are you most pleased to have passed on?!

Only brief details needed please – e-mail to info@planetsouthbank.org.uk. Thank you! We’ll post a blog of some of these stories, not including any names/addresses.

The next Street-re-Cycle will be on Sunday 8 September. Book the date now… And if you sign up to follow our blog, we’ll be able to make sure you get notification in good time.
