Donated to school's nursery:
800:1 large craft set
801:2 books
802-804: 3 carrier bags of plastics for "make-and do".
I have been donating bags of plastic to the school since my eldest started there,8years ago.I haven't counted them before because it is just something I have always done (like putting out normal recycling,empty bottles,etc).But have decided I am going to start counting them because until they are out the door they do take up alot of room in my cluttered front hall.Definitely saw the difference when they were removed.
