Recycling for Age UK Solihull
We have partnered with Recycling for Good Causes to reuse and recycle old jewellery, banknotes and stamps to raise money for Age UK Solihull while saving precious raw materials at the same time.
We can recycle:
- Any jewellery – gold, silver, costume jewellery, watches, broken and damaged items (like odd earrings, snapped chains or items with missing stones).
- Any unwanted banknotes from ANY country of any age, so all of those obsolete pre-euro notes are a perfect start!
- Any old or used stamps, on or off paper
Our partners at Recycling for Good Causes will reuse and recycle the jewellery and banknotes at no cost to you, giving the proceeds to Age UK Solihull to help us to support older and vulnerable Solihull residents.
Sending your items
Jewellery and banknotes
Simply put your items into your own envelope or jiffy bag (no bigger than A5 in size) and post free of charge by printing out the freepost label below and attaching to your envelope.
*Please do not send coins or stamps to the freepost address as the postage costs will far outweigh your donation. See below for intructions for sending stamps.*
If you have more items than will fit into an A5 sized envelope for Age UK Solihull, then please call 0800 633 5323 or email customerservices@recyclingforgoodcauses.org to find out more information on our polybag / sack recycling projects where you can recycle larger items.
Stamps
All kinds of stamps are welcome, on or off paper.
Simply cut or carefully rip the postage stamp from the used envelope, being careful that you don’t damage the stamp, and once you have a collection pop them in an envelope making sure you have applied the correct postage to:
Age UK Solihull
PO Box 16992
Sutton Coldfield
B73 9YA
Recycling for Good Causes will arrange collections for larger quantities of stamps weighing over 10kgs. This equates to about two buckets full of stamps.
