Christmas bulky waste exchange on Saturday

Bocholt - Next Saturday, 25 November, the waste disposal and service company of the city of Bocholt is once again inviting people to the bulky waste exchange - the last one this year. The focus is on Christmas and winter items.

Over the past few weeks, the staff at the recycling centre have been on the lookout for items that are suitable for sale at the bulky waste exchange in order to offer as many items as possible. "The collection container is now well filled with Christmas tree baubles and decorations, as well as other non-Christmas items," says waste consultant Petra Tacke.

Sale for the Caritas outpatient family help centre

The main purpose of the bulky waste exchange is to reuse items that are in good condition and thus promote sustainability. "The more things that can be reused, the better," says Tacke. All proceeds from the bulky waste exchange go to the Caritas outpatient family support centre. Caritas employees will be present at the event to answer any questions about the work of the outpatient family support centre.

Help from Bocholt associations

Volunteers support the ESB with the set-up and sale. Helpers from the Kinderschutzbund (Child Protection Association) will support the waste counsellor with the set-up. The THW youth will be active as stewards on Saturday and will help clean up after the fair.

If you have any questions about this event, please call waste advisor Petra Tacke on 02871 / 24 63 24.
