A SCHOOL is running a uniform recycling scheme.

The initiative, at Prestatyn High School, will give parents and guardians the chance to donate any unwanted/outgrown uniforms in good condition to the school. They will then be recycled and made available to other families.

During the summer term, a group of year 10 Welsh Baccalaureate pupils will be helping to run the scheme as part of a community challenge volunteering project.

Kevin Roberts, of Prestatyn High School, said: "The uniform recycling scheme aims to encourage the ex-pupils of Prestatyn High School to recycle and donate old school uniform items rather than putting them in the bin. There are many families across Denbighshire who would benefit from your generosity.

"Throwing anything in the general waste should always be a last resort as the majority of the time there is a more environmentally friendly option.

"Not only does making use of second-hand clothing have a fantastic impact on your pocket and on strengthening the community, but it also plays an essential role in sustaining our precious environment and protecting our natural resources."

Drop unwanted/outgrown uniforms at the main office at the school.
