Everyday fundraising
Make a difference for wildlife every single day!
Easy things you can do every day to raise vital funds to support Essex Wildlife Trust, without it costing you a penny!
Recycle and raise vital funds
Recycle your unwanted items to help protect our planet, and raise money at the same time. Kickstart your recycling journey by donating:
Clothing, textiles and bras
Jewellery and watches
Mobile phones and tablets
Electronics – old cameras and game consoles
Currency and stamps
Ink cartridges
How to Recycle?
There are designated clothes recycling bins at our Hanningfield and Chafford Gorges Nature Discovery Centres, and at our Head Office located at Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough. (Please note the building is currently closed to the public).
Please ensure bras are separated from other donated clothing. These can be dropped off at any of our Nature Discovery Centres.
To recycle your jewellery, watches, currency, stamps, electronics (including mobile phones), tablets, old camera equipment and game consoles, please download a free postage label or request a sack and free collection.
