Postcards and greetings cards
recycle:
Playgroups, nurseries and primary schools are often pleased to accept used postcards and greetings cards.
Take used Christmas cards to Tesco, WHSmith and TK Max stores during January. The cards collected are recycled and the proceeds raised donated to the Woodland Trust's projects.
Greetings cards can also be recycled in some kerbside collections and at most Community Recycling Centres and Points. See CARD/CARDBOARD .

Old postcards can be sent to:
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, c/o Mrs A. Bernard, Tremorden, Donaldsons Brae, Kilcreggan, G84 0JB. Postcards are sold to collectors to raise funds.
You can reduce the number of cards you use by sending electronic Christmas and birthday cards.
Try to buy recycled and unbleached cards whenever possible. Charity merchandise catalogues offer a wide range.
