A PROJECT set up to recycle waste back into the community is holding a launch week to allow people to come up with gift ideas for Christmas.

The Worcestershire Resource Exchange (WRE), in Gregorys Bank Industrial Estate, has materials, including gold card, tinsel, books, ribbon and fabrics, available for people looking to make their own presents.

Anyone who becomes a member during the week commencing Monday, November 29, will receive a voucher for a free trolley load of materials upon the first trolley load purchased.

The Worcestershire Duckworth Trust-led scheme was set up earlier this year to help businesses divert waste away from landfills.

The Exchange collects clean, safe and non-toxic waste that is suitable for use in art and craft by members of the public, schools and community groups.

It is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10am to 6pm.
