We know from our recent e-waste week with @stratforddc.bsky.social that some people have old smart phones kicking around in drawers and cupboards. Now you can help Welcome Here Stratford by donating them for use by newcomers to the town. Drop them off at our Climate Hub in Meer Street.

Great to see that advanced #recycling technology have allowed @stratforddc.bsky.social to already reach 61%. Ten more years to get to the 65% target - lets hope whatever council we have by then will have already surpassed it! 👍♻️
