tips for moving out smoothly Adela, a third year Law student from Czech Republic, says: “I have a lot of things to sort out before my year abroad, one of them being what to do with the things I can’t take back home or store anywhere. Bristol Big Give is a great solution for you if you have things you don’t want and don’t want to throw them out.” Kate Mainprice, a second year Biology student says: “Bristol Big Give is a really efficient way of recycling unwanted items, whilst giving back to the local community.”
Remember: If you place waste by the side of your bin, they won’t take it. Everything has to fit in.
last year the Bristol Big Give prevented over 80 tonnes of waste from going to landfill, which could raise up to ÂŁ200,000 for local and national charities. Thank you for donating your unwanted items and keeping bristol clean
