Liz Pinfield-Wells is recycling items that are not included in council collections.
A mum from Telford has set up a recycling drop-off point in her front garden for items not included in council kerbside collections.
Liz Pinfield-Wells, from Dawley, is encouraging people to drop off items such as crisp packets and toothbrushes that are made from mixed materials. Items are then sent to TerraCycle and she earns points that are then redeemed as donations for a chosen charity.The mother-of-two said she had been raising money for her daughter's gymnastics group and was now a trustee of the Climate Action Hub Telford.
When the hub gets a new premises, Mrs Pinfield-Wells said she hoped to move her recycling drop-off there."Obviously on a day like today, if people are coming with crisp packets they're blowing away, getting wet and covered in snow," she said."They have metal and plastic in them, so you shouldn't really be putting that in your kerbside bin," she said.
Mrs Pinfield-Wells said the items were sent off to TerraCycle, shredded into small plastic pellets and made into things such as watering cans and benches."They give the materials a longer life," Mrs Pinfield-Wells said.
