‘ Don’t bin it, bring it’ campaign as IT students want your junk
An innovative environmental awareness event at IT Sligo is helping green- thinking students and the general public to recycle more unwanted household items than ever before.
A group of the Institute’s Bachelor of Business in Marketing Students is organising an event entitled, ‘ Don’t Bin IT Bring IT’ taking place on campus in the Hume Hall on November 14th between 12- 5pm.
The aim of the event is to highlight and create awareness for environmental degradation and for Clean Coasts, an Irish organisation that is working to protect Ireland’s beaches, seas and marine life with all proceeds on the day going to this cause. The day will include a car boot sale, flea market & a number of recycling workshops. A very social fun day is guaranteed with a college DJ, food & prizes to be won. There will be three collection days on campus where all your old items can be dropped off for inclusion and sold on the day.
The collection days are: Monday November 7th and Wednesday November 9th, on the main concourse at IT Sligo. Your donations are greatly appreciated. Categories include Books, Clothes, Toys, and Shoes. Electrical products will not be accepted. Plastic bottles are currently being collected around the campus for the workshops where students will learn and be creative making useful products from these on the day.
