Wanted For Recycling

We are in dire need of packaging for the wool sales, anything from padded envelopes, card or strong envelopes, corrugated cardboard, bubble wrap, brown paper, plastic mailing bags in fact any thing which could be re-used to send out our wool orders.  This will be an on-going request and if people can save for us and then drop the used packaging etc into the shop that would be great.  I hate to buy new stuff when I could be recycling.

Also if anybody has a video recorder or videos they don't want, I can recycle these over to my daughter Emma in France.
