RESIDENTS in York can take advantage of a recycling event in the city tomorrow, which is the annual recycling extravaganza at York Environment Centre.

The Give Or Take Day, which takes place from 1pm to 4pm, will be the chance for people to get rid of household and garden items they don’t need and pick up something they do.

John Brierley, Project Co-ordinator at St Nicholas Fields, said: “The aim is to promote the idea that lots of things can be reused rather than thrown away into landfill and to do it in a fun way. Just bring along your unwanted items to the Environment Centre at St Nicholas Fields and pick up something you do want. It’s all for free. You can give books, toys, tools (not electric), bric-a-brac, paint (reusable), kitchenware, furniture, jewellery, ornaments, bikes and bike parts and plants.”
