This campaign was launched in April 2022 and during the year 3148 tonnes were recycled at the Conwy sites, meaning £3148 was donated to St David’s Hospice and 2759 tonnes were recycled at the Denbighshire sites, resulting in a £2759 donation to St Kentigern Hospice.

Mark Ellis, Community Engagement Manager at Bryson Recycling said:

“Through our Recycling Rewards campaign we aim to raise awareness for the importance of recycling and its positive contribution to our community. We are delighted to partner with two such worthwhile local charities this year who provide such an essential service the local areas we live and work in”.

Cllr Geoff Stewart, Conwy County Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood and the Environment, said:

“It’s great news that through using our recycling centres, residents are not just having a positive impact on the environment, but also helping to benefit our communities via St David’s Hospice. We encourage residents to keep on recycling so the Recycling Rewards scheme can help even more.”

Councillor Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport for Denbighshire County Council, said:  

“This is a fantastic initiative run by Bryson Recycling and is a great way of giving back to the community and to two valuable charities in St Kentigern Hospice and St David’s Hospice.
