There’s no limit to what you can do as a volunteer with the Mumbles Development Trust 

 Such as dressing up as a duck in the MDT administration office when the phone isn’t ringing like an unnamed Oriel Bach volunteer (. . . Danielle Charles) or getting your hands dirty along with volunteer Robin Bonham as the Mumbles Green Action Team join community school children in a tree planting exercise at Clyne  

 Interview performers and produce your own show on Radio Oystermouth like Amy Sinha or get creative like our volunteer face painter and balloon designer at the Mumbles Local Produce Market 

Enjoy the great green community spaces of Mumbles with our Broadleaf Woodland Enterprise volunteers or feel the herieth and lead the way like volunteer Karen Miller during the St. David’s Festivities

Develop your writing skills like Mumbles Matters Editor and occasional Radio Oystermouth presenter volunteer Joel Bennett or approach the MDT with a project idea of your own as Oriel Bach volunteers Kat O’Brien, Leezanne Davies and Danielle Charles did out of nothing at the MDT headquarters at Dunns Lane

Your Mumbles Recycling Station

Recycling empty inkjet cartridges is an easy way for anybody to help to reduce the strain on our environment. Here are a few good reasons for taking a trip down to Dunns Lane and depositing your ink cartridges with the Mumbles Development Trust.

Here are some images of part of the recycling process. The MDT provide a quick turn around period so that these items are not hanging around

Each single cartridge that is recycled saves almost three pounds of natural resources associated with the production of a new cartridge.  An inkjet cartridge that is recycled also saves an average of three and a half ounces of oil. With the worldwide demand for oil on the rise and supplies dwindling, what you make think of as a small effort will actually make quite a significant difference given time. Finally, you should recycle or reuse your empty inkjet cartridges to reduce the strain on local landfill sites. An inkjet cartridge does not biodegrade in a landfill, as does other waste. Once a cartridge is discarded, it will be there for hundreds of years.
 

Recycling ink cartridges will of course also mean a cheaper cartridge for the consumer.
 

The Mumbles Development Trust also welcome unwanted mobile phones which, apart from clogging up our already over used landfill sites, also contain poisonous elements, such as lead, cadmium and beryllium, which are harmful to wildlife and human health.

Mumbles Development Trust Recycling Point

All you have to do is drop your unwanted mobile phone or ink cartridge and the Mumbles Development Trust will do the rest. They have all the safe packaging at their Dunns Lane collection point and they also have the correct connection so that you can feel rest assured that all proceeds generated by the Mumbles Development Trust recycling movement will be pumped directly into the Trust’s environmental action groups that ensure our beaches remain clean and our Green spaces remain Green.
