What’s it all about?
Bra Bank Recycling is the latest fundraising initiative from Connect. The concept revolves around a campaign instigated by BCR Global textiles, which specialises in recycling textiles to benefit the third world.
Involvement in this scheme means that Connect will receive £1 for every 1 kilo of bras collected in one of Connects personal ‘Bra banks’. Recycling bras, rather than throwing them away, helps to protect the environment from the harmful gases that are released during a long biodegrading process. Not only this but these unwanted bras, which need to be clean and wearable, are then sent to the developing world, providing job opportunities through sales, and giving disadvantaged women, er, support!
Where are the Bra Bank Recycling bins?
Connect has placed several ‘bra banks’ around Camberley town. They are recognisable through their shocking pink shade and the connect logo. Connects bins can be located at the following sites:
Churches

Success of this fundraising initiative has developed from great willingness demonstrated by the local community. Connect would therefore like to show their gratitude and personally thank all business and locations that allowed Connect to place a bin within their premises.
