BUSINESSES are being urged to donate waste cardboard to support a charity.

Students at Accrington and Rossendale College are backing charity Prosperity Recycling, which tries to cut the amount sent to landfill sites by creating new products from waste materials.

Business students are now embarking on a project helping Prosperity. Business lecturer Janice Hardman said: “This is a worthwhile opp-ortunity to bring the local community together.”

Business wanting to donate waste cardboard should contact jhard man@accross.ac.uk.
