The Bairnsdale Lions Club is collecting used Australian and overseas stamps, and unwanted collections. the stamps should have around 1.5 cm of paper around stamps, please don't soak off the envelope. They will sell the stamps and use the funds raised to purchase walking aides for children with disabilities. Stamps can be left with the people at the Bairnsdale Trophy Centre in Bailey St.
There is an artist collecting tea bag tags and strings for an artwork in progress. They can be dropped off at the Community Centre next to the Library. Amazing what you can find a use for, as any Primary School teacher knows.
Also, did you know that you can recycle your old toothbrushes, empty toothpaste tubes, and dental floss cartridges? The dental practice in Paynesville (the lovely Sue and David) are part of an organization that will collect and recycle them!
