Ivana Jakubkova, Rachel Simpson, Dominic Davies, Richard Lane, Lynn Turner and Candida Spillard at the York Environment Centre’s Give Or Take day
THE YORK Environment Centre at St Nicholas Fields held a Give Or Take Day on Saturday.
Visitors were able to swap household and garden items they no longer needed for someone else’s unwanted goods.
Swappable items included books, toys, non-electric tools, bric-a-brac, kitchenware, furniture, jewellery, ornaments, bikes, parts and plants.
Entertainment was added to the free event with a performance of Compost! the mini-musical, as well as children’s activities and stalls.
John Brierley, project co-ordinator at St Nicholas Fields, said the event was a fun way to encourage people to reuse items. “Lots of things can be reused rather than thrown away to landfill,” he said.
