- Major Projects on recycling - we will be promoted through all programs encouraging people to reduce, reuse, repair, recycle and rethink your daily actions. Schools and charity groups who have recycling programs are asked to jump between program co-ordinaters so the public can bring products to the eco expo OR contact suitable contacts with individual organizations concerning donations of goods. For example Gleneagle school who have a mobile phone recycling program. Rotary computers for kids will receive computers during the eco expo. Great bears of the world are looking for fake fur coats; plush material pre-loved and injured bears. Materials are to be used for children in distress.
