Pat and Frances are two local ladies who are undertaking a huge challenge called their 60 list while collecting money for cancer charity, Clan. They have undertaken to do 60 things that they have never done, or always wanted to do, before they reach the age of 60! One of their challenges was to sort waste in a recycling plant… so they donned their high viz vests and hard hats and concentrated very hard for about 20 minutes, sorting out recycling on a conveyor belt. Amongst the more unusual finds were 2 car number plates and a few shoes! They were surprised to learn that the remaining waste minus the recyclable items that they sorted would be used to generate renewable energy and heat.
