to the following local businesses:

most appreciative of their donation of £285 raised on the day.

Recycling News
Unfortunately, blister packs can’t go in our home recycling collection but they can still be recycled. They
can be left at Glebe House Surgery in Bedale when the appropriate recycling bin is available. Boots at
Catterick Garrison also offer the service but you may need to book a drop off with them.
Paul Rutter Opticians in Bedale are offering a collection box for contact lenses for recycling.
