CAN YOU HELP, PLEASE?

THE BIG GIVE: BHF donation bins.
Following another successful British Heart Foundation donation bin collection in Bristol last year, when 72 tonnes of donated items from students were collected with a value of up to £125,000 during summer 2015 (and a significant reduction in fly tipping and waste sent to landfill sites was recorded) the Big Red Collection Bins have been put out again this year.
If you see side waste/ fly tipped items next to the bins please report them here for BCC to deal with.
