    Posted

    I'll be driving part way down on the Sunday night from Leeds and staying in Premier Inn near Sutton Coldfield (normally go bit further south but my plans on the Sunday mean I will be leaving later than usual).

     

    Monday morning will be up early and aim to get into car park around 10am ahead of recycling crew accreditation opening at 11am.  Once accredited on site up to Tom's Field to pitch my tent.  May do 2nd trip back to car if haven't managed it all 1st time. 

     

    Once all set up will grab some lunch and see who's about that I know and have a bimble round the site.  Then Monday evening up to the Tow and Hitch for efests volunteer/crew meet up

    Bumping this thread as I'm on a tight budget this year so I'm hunting for bargains!

     

    Also, while I'm here, can anyone recommend any decent power banks? The bigger the better without breaking the bank. I'm taking my one year old this year so I'll have loads of additional little gadgets that might need charging.

     

    I bought about 6 different reasonably priced ones off amazon last time and almost all of them under performed. I even got one which was advertised as a 20,000 mAh but I later discovered was actually 10,000 mAh with some weights added to make it feel like higher capacity. And that was was thousands of reviews at 5* so clearly the reviews can't be trusted.

    I've got the older model of this

    Is heavy but you do get a good number of charges from them.

     

    I've another Baseus one that's good too (x30) but looks like that is discontinued.

    Hi

    got my shifts I swapped from the evening bin teams 

    to the recycling centre 2

    anyone who’s worked this before have any info on what I’ll be doing?

    this was my second choice so happy to have got this

    thanks 

    I've done recycling centre once but basically you'll be sorting the recycling into plastic/paper/cans etc.  This can be one of around 3 roles:

     

    1) tipping the bags onto the conveyer belts. 

    2) sorting the rubbish that is tipped and putting it into respective wheelie bins.

    3) Swapping over full wheelie bins for empty ones and taking the full ones to be emptied.
