Hertsmere Borough Council collected 17,913 bras weighing just over one ton in special pink recycling bins, which can now be reused by women in poorer countries. They also donated £1,000 to the Breast Cancer Campaign charity, £1 for every kilo collected.
Councillor Jean Heywood, Environment Portfolio Holder said ''By recycling your bras not only will less waste be sent to landfill but women in poorer countries will benefit and you will be helping to fund research into breast cancer.''
I think every council across the U.K. should take note of this, I know most women have a few olds bras stuffed at the back of their drawers, which could be so useful in poorer countries.
