Please, stop the dumping

Jumble Around in Leamington is also often the target of dirty, smelly goods disguised as donations

Hospice shop manager, Helen Singers, is asking people to stop dropping donations that are little more than rubbish outside the shop. By Sophie Iremonger

Op shops in Cambridge seem to have been treated more like landfill services than charity organisations recently, with an increasing number of cases where clearly unsellable items, as well as actual rubbish, are being dumped at storefronts during closed hours.

Helen Singers, manager of the Cambridge Hospice shop, said each Monday her volunteer staff are confronted with anywhere from five to twenty bags of

rubbish, and in the rare cases where decent items have been left, they’ve been rifled through and stolen. Singers said the organisation does not want any items, good or otherwise, left at the shop when it is closed. Being open on Saturdays from 10am to 1pm, as well as 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, should provide an opportunity for working people to get there during open hours. And a sign on the store front provides a phone number to for donation pick-ups. Continued on page 3
